The Impact of Evidence-Based Care Plans on Cost and Utilization
Monica Schmidt, Cone Health
There is a plethora of evidence that supports nurse care management to delay the progression of chronic diseases and reduce the cost of care. In fact, value-based care is anchored in the ability to keep a population healthy longer while reducing acute unplanned hospitalizations. It is unclear if guidance from evidence-based nurse care plans impact clinical and financial outcomes.
Our study aimed to evaluate the impact of using Elsevier evidence-based care plans by nurse care managers to reduce emergency room visits for ambulatory sensitive conditions and overall annual paid claims amount for members in value-based care contracts at Cone Health (Triad Healthcare Network). Our hypothesis is that if care managers utilized evidence-based care plans, the members would have fewer ED visits and lower annual spend compared to similar members not undergoing active care management.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the importance of using evidence-based care management strategies to reduce acute utilization and cost of care in a value-based care payment model.
- Compare methods for finding a comparable population to use as controls when analyzing complex population health data.
- Report on the new AHRQ ambulatory sensitive condition definitions and how they can be used in population health analytics to tease out preventable visits to emergency departments.
- Report on the impact of using evidence-based care plans to guide nurses in their care of large, diverse populations. Demonstrate the value of the care plan used on ED visits and average per member per month spend.
- Describe how evidence-based guidelines reduce care variation and keep staff on track to manage large populations of individuals successfully.
