Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Chronic Disease Management
  • Healthcare Economics

Background:

  • Chronic diseases represent a significant burden on healthcare systems.
  • Disease management (DM) programs aim to improve outcomes and reduce costs for patients with chronic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a specific DM program at the University of Minnesota on healthcare expenditures, absenteeism, and hospitalizations across various chronic conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Differences-in-differences regression analysis was employed to assess the effect of DM program participation.
  • The study analyzed outcomes including healthcare expenditures, absenteeism, hospitalizations, and avoidable hospitalizations.

Main Results:

  • DM programs significantly reduced healthcare expenditures for asthma, cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure, depression, musculoskeletal problems, low back pain, and migraines.
  • Hospitalizations decreased for most conditions studied, excluding congestive heart failure. Avoidable hospitalizations were reduced for asthma, depression, and low back pain.
  • No significant impact on absenteeism or outcomes for individuals with diabetes, arthritis, or osteoporosis was observed.

Conclusions:

  • Employers should strategically select DM programs targeting conditions demonstrating clear cost savings and improved hospitalization rates.
  • The University of Minnesota's DM program shows effectiveness in reducing hospitalizations and expenditures for specific chronic diseases, highlighting the importance of tailored disease management strategies.
