    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Health Economics
    • Quality Improvement

    Background:

    • Defining episodes of care is crucial for evaluating healthcare costs and effectiveness.
    • Previous methods lacked a standardized approach for comparing different healthcare delivery systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility of using episodes of care as a cost-effectiveness measure.
    • To compare the cost-effectiveness of hypertension management in different healthcare settings.

    Main Methods:

    • A pilot study was conducted alongside a quality assessment program.
    • Prospective data from primary care patients and retrospective data from private practice patients with hypertension were abstracted.
    • Patient costs were calculated based on controlled and uncontrolled episodes of care.
