Impacts of Homecare Investments in Alberta: Ecological and Economic Trend Analysis.
No standardized cost-based homecare-specific indicators are used provincially or nationally in Canada. We trended and portrayed Alberta's homecare costs and health system usage between 2015-16 and 2019-20. In addition, we conducted a cost-effectiveness ratio analysis. Total avoided acute care utilization was estimated at 346.2 thousand in-patient days. With $240.3 million in homecare investments above general growth, our cost-effectiveness ratio is 694:1. Application of these cost-based indicators reveals that homecare programs improve system cost-effectiveness. These indicators can assist health-system policy makers in understanding how systems are structured, specifically in achieving the goal of sustaining the publicly funded health system.
