Researchers examined data from 1,170 CDSMP participants from baseline, six-month and 12-month assessments on triple aim-related outcome measures, including:
• Better health: overall health, pain, fatigue and depression
• Better healthcare: patient-physician-communication, medication compliance and confidence completing medical forms
• Better value: emergency room visits and hospitalizations in the past six months.
Results indicated improvements across all outcome measures between the baseline and 12-month assessments, with the exception of reductions in hospitalization, which were only evident at the six-month assessment.
The study concluded CDSMP is a useful tool for achieving the triple aim on the national level for people with chronic conditions.
