Problems with Cohort-Based ROI Estimates
Regression to mean overshadows true program impactDifficult to adjust accurately for self selection biasDifficult to identify all pertinent variables for comparison of intervention and control groupsFormal regression analysis needed for adequate comparison – a resource issue
![Page 25: “Real World ROI and Clinical Outcomes for Diabetes, CHF ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050512/62720ca8e67afc3b85298ea8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Possible Future Alternatives to Cohort-Based ROI Estimates
Predictive modeling software• e.g. DxCG projections for disease specific
cohorts, comparing predicted to actual costs for treated and untreated groups.
Regression discontinuity trial design.• Uses cutoff threshold for intervention patients
(e.g. A1C>8%), then analyzes regression line before and after intervention for all, above and below threshold.

Disease Management Program Impact, COPD
Admission frequency and COPD-related hospital days flat over time for enrolled patients, BUT:• 86% sustained quit rate for smokers in
the COPD program (US rate 62%, per AHRQ)
• Compliance with pneumovax and flu vaccine exceed 80% (US rate 60%)
• Almost 60% of patients with advance directives in place. (US rate < 15%)

Possible Reasons for Fallon COPD Trends
Selected very ill population, ? Irreversible disease, with FEV1 <35% predicted, many on O2
Confounding influence of bad flu year 2000Pushed caseload too high ? (N=400+)Evidence for benchmark performance (per M&R) before program implemented
![Page 31: “Real World ROI and Clinical Outcomes for Diabetes, CHF ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050512/62720ca8e67afc3b85298ea8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Next Steps for COPD at Fallon
Continuation of current program – single care manager with lower caseloadExpansion of engaged population via external grantFuture ROI estimates using Pop-based and cohort-based approachesEngagement of patients with less severe COPD, especially current smokers
![Page 32: “Real World ROI and Clinical Outcomes for Diabetes, CHF ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050512/62720ca8e67afc3b85298ea8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Conclusions from the Fallon Experience
Well executed chronic disease management programs can:
Deliver true “managed care” – not “managed payments”Reduce the total cost of care for high risk cohortsImprove quality of care, as measured by process metrics as well as clinical outcomesImprove patient satisfaction and functional status
![Page 33: “Real World ROI and Clinical Outcomes for Diabetes, CHF ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050512/62720ca8e67afc3b85298ea8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Conclusions – Continued
Population-based ROI estimates most robust – avoid regression to mean and self selection bias.Cohort-based ROI estimates needed when low penetration rates dilute population-based results – less robust.Compare baseline results to external benchmarks prior to program selection.Must balance clinical benefits and financial ROI for full value equation.
