A practice facilitation-guided intervention in primary care settings to reduce cardiovascular disease risk: a cost analysis.
In this randomized controlled trial, researchers estimated the associated cost of practice facilitation (PF) for guideline adoption in small, private primary care practices. They found that the PF strategy cost approximately $10,000 per practice per quarter for program and practice costs, once implemented and running at highest efficiency. They indicated that whether or not this program is worthwhile to the decision-maker depends on the relative costs and effectiveness of their other options for improving cardiovascular risk reduction.
