Abstract

Objective: The study objective was to estimate the budget impact of funding a standardized education and exercise therapy program, Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) for people with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) waiting for total joint replacement (TJR) consultation in a universal publicly insured health care system in Canada.

Methods: We built a budget impact analysis model to estimate the annual cost (Canadian dollars) of providing the GLA:D program to people waiting for a TJR consultation and then forecasted a three-year budget cycle. The base case assumes that 40% attend GLA:D sessions, that 11% avoid surgery, uniform care delivery, that training costs are incurred separately, and that the health care system has enough trained staff to meet demand. The population of people with hip and knee OA waiting for a TJR consultation was estimated with government statistics, peer-reviewed evidence, and routinely collected data from five orthopedic centralized intake clinics (serving 80% of people seeking TJR). Patient-level costs were collected prospectively. International published evidence informed the TJR avoidance estimates. A one-way sensitivity analysis of key parameters evaluated model robustness. Four scenarios were analyzed: public funding for everyone (base case), low-income, rural, and uninsured persons.

Results: Funding GLA:D would cost $4.3 million, serve 12,500 people, and save $8.5 million by avoiding 1,300 TJRs in year one. Savings grow to $8.8 and $8.7 million in years two and three. The number of TJRs performed annually produced the most uncertainty in budget impact (-$15.3 million, -$1.8 million). The most cautious parameter estimates still produce cost savings.

Conclusion: Publicly funding standardized education and exercise therapy programs for everyone waiting for a TJR consultation would avoid surgeries, improve access to evidence-based treatments, and save more than the program costs.

通过在公共保险医疗系统中实施髋关节和膝关节骨关节炎的标准化教育和运动治疗计划来评估预算影响和关节置换避免。
目的:评估资助标准化教育和运动治疗计划(GLA:D®)对在加拿大全民公共保险医疗系统中等待全关节置换术(TJR)咨询的髋关节和膝关节OA患者的预算影响。方法:建立预算影响分析(BIA)模型,估算为等待TJR咨询的人提供GLA:D®计划的年度成本,然后预测三年的预算周期。基本情况假设40%的人参加GLA:D®,11%的人避免手术,统一的护理服务,单独发生的培训费用,医疗保健系统有足够的培训人员来满足需求。等待TJR咨询的髋关节和膝关节OA患者的人数是根据政府统计数据、同行评审证据和从五个骨科集中就诊诊所(服务80%寻求TJR的患者)常规收集的数据进行估计的。前瞻性地收集患者层面的费用。国际上公布的基于证据的TJR规避估计。关键参数的单向敏感性分析评估了模型的稳健性。研究人员分析了四种情况:为每个人提供公共资金(基本情况)、低收入者、农村居民或没有保险的人。结果:资助GLA:D®将花费430万美元,服务12,500人,并通过在第一年避免1,300例tjr节省850万美元。第二年和第三年的储蓄分别增加到880万美元和870万美元。每年执行的TJR数量对预算影响的不确定性最大(- 1530美元,- 180万美元)。最谨慎的参数估计仍然可以节省成本。结论:为等待TJR咨询的每个人提供标准化教育和运动治疗项目的公共资金将避免手术,改善获得循证治疗的机会,并节省更多的项目成本。

期刊介绍: Arthritis Care & Research, an official journal of the American College of Rheumatology and the Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals (a division of the College), is a peer-reviewed publication that publishes original research, review articles, and editorials that promote excellence in the clinical practice of rheumatology. Relevant to the care of individuals with rheumatic diseases, major topics are evidence-based practice studies, clinical problems, practice guidelines, educational, social, and public health issues, health economics, health care policy, and future trends in rheumatology practice.
