Introduction Still questions about the cost effectiveness of current DM Models One recent article: “Cost-effectiveness of Telephonic Disease Management in Heart Failure” (Am J Manag Care. 2008; 14: 106 -115) Conclusions: The intervention was effective but costly to implement and did not reduce utilization. Why is this so hard?
Being bad is more fun than being good
Introduction What are some potential drivers of incremental ROI in DM? What are some of the ways to align incentives for physicians to be active, enthusiastic partners in chronic care management? What are the keys to incenting healthy consumer behavior?
