Saving Healthcare Costs in the Real-World: Implementation of CAPABLE in Population-Based Care
Study shows implementing CAPABLE has potential to yield cost-saving and health improving benefits by reducing preventable hospitalizations
The need for evidence-based services that help older adults thrive in the community aligns with the economic need to lower costs while achieving better outcomes. Some hospitals with global budgets have started paying for community-based care to decrease hospitalizations.
In a study titled “Saving Healthcare Costs in the Real-World: Implementation of CAPABLE in Population-Based Care,” researchers evaluated health, utilization, and cost outcomes associated with CAPABLE, a time-limited intervention to improve daily function, among 205 participants. While not achieving statistical significance, participants experienced fewer avoidable hospitals stays and readmissions. Participants had significant improvements in functional outcomes and decreased depression scores.
