Slide Presentation from the AHRQ 2007 Annual Conference

What was the effect of CMP on patient outcomes?

• Study design:
  • Retrospective cohort
  • Comparison of care managed (CM) patients (7 clinics) with patients from similar clinics w/out care managers (n=4)
  • CM patients matched to controls on key characteristics
• Outcomes
  • Mortality, disease control, death, hospitalization
  • Efficiency

Notes:

Paul suggested change to "Impact" from "benefits", because more neutral.

Need to give information on what the experimental design is. E.g., X intervention, Y control, how controlled. Point out that did intra and inter clinic controls.
