Cost Effectiveness - Case Study - Sponsored Whitepaper

Case: This project calculated the expected effect on health and economic outcomes of a proposed new program for managing people with diabetes in Kaiser Permanente, called "A-L-L". The Model predicted that the A-L-L program would simultaneously improve the health of Kaiser Permanente's members while also saving an estimated $38 million annually in unnecessary healthcare costs. Given the outcomes from the Archimedes Model were so promising, Kaiser Permanente decided to launch and heavily promote a program-wide effort to provide the A-L-L program to all patients with diabetes.

Conclusion: An independent follow-up study 5 years later confirmed that reduction of healthcare cost and number of lives saved predicted by the Archimedes Model were accurate.
