    Quality improvement collaboratives significantly reduced urinary retention after spine surgery. This initiative saved payers $66.8 million, demonstrating the financial benefits of collaborative quality improvement in healthcare.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Surgical Quality Improvement
    • Health Economics

    Background:

    • Quality improvement (QI) collaboratives offer a promising strategy for enhancing patient care and reducing healthcare costs.
    • The Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MSSIC) focused on reducing adverse events, specifically urinary retention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To estimate the direct cost savings for payers resulting from a reduction in urinary retention following spine surgery.
    • To evaluate the financial impact of the Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MSSIC) initiative.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from the MSSIC clinical registry to compare urinary retention rates between a 2016 baseline and a 2017-2024 QI intervention period.
    • Calculated averted adverse events and applied cost estimates from the Michigan Value Collaborative (MVC) to determine direct payer savings.

    Main Results:

    • Estimated direct cost savings to payers amounted to $66.8 million for the 2017-2024 period.
    • The reduction in urinary retention rates was the primary driver of these savings.

    Conclusions:

    • Collaborative QI initiatives targeting adverse outcomes in spine surgery yield substantial cost savings for payers.
    • Potential indirect cost savings to employers and caregivers range from $130-$180 million, highlighting the broad economic benefits.
