We evaluated health care resource use and costs among CCP patients (enrollees) versus a control group that did not receive coordinated care (comparators) in Southeastern Ontario.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Methods<\/strong> \u2014 A difference-in-differences analysis of a quasi-experimental, double propensity score-matched and adjusted cohort was conducted. Linked population-based administrative data were used to measure health care utilization and costs and to identify comparators for two enrollee groups who began CCPs between April 1, 2013, and March 31, 2019. Enrollees were recruited from hospitals in Quinte or community care centres in Rural Hastings\/Thousand Islands, and were 1:1 propensity score matched to comparators. Difference-in-differences estimates were calculated using generalized estimating equations for hospitalization rates, homecare visits, primary care visits, other health care resources and total costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong> \u2014\u00a0A total of 558 enrollees in Quinte and 538 in Rural Hastings\/Thousand Islands were identified and matched to comparators. Difference-in-differences estimates were significant in both enrollee groups for number of homecare visits ([IRR 1.72; 95% CI (1.44, 2.06)] and [IRR 1.73; 95% CI (1.45, 2.06)], respectively). Number of primary care visits were 1.76 times greater for Rural Hastings\/Thousand Islands enrollees versus comparators [IRR 1.76; 95% CI (1.32, 2.35)]; total costs increased by 23% ([IRR 1.23; 95% CI (1.09,1.39)].<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions<\/strong> \u2014\u00a0Homecare use significantly increased for enrollees versus comparators, indicating specific priority areas of Ontario CCPs were met. However, no reductions were shown for other health system performance indicators. We also showed increased 7-day primary care follow-up visits for community care centre-recruited patients, but not for hospital-recruited patients. Decision-makers may wish to target patients who are less advanced in their chronic disease trajectory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Objectives \u2014\u00a0Coordinated care plans (CCPs) for high-cost health care system users aim to improve system-level performance.
