Better Health, Less Spending
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cerebrovascular disease is a leading cause of disability in the United States and results in $20.6 billion in annual direct medical spending, with ≈700 000 ischemic strokes yearly. Despite advances in stroke prevention and treatment, deficits persist in healthcare value (defined as improved population health and patient experience at lower per-capita cost). Initiatives including the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s Get-With-The-GuidelinesStroke (GWTG) and Target:Stroke programs provide leadership to improve the quality of care. To add to these efforts, and in response to increasing healthcare spending, we designed a composite of prevention and treatment strategies that improve value in a short time horizon (1–3 years after implementation) by enhancing population health and experience of care while lowering total per-capita healthcare spending.
