Community Preventive Services Task Force economic findings for the five interventions

Intervention Economic Evidence Task Force Economic Finding
Team-based Care Limited cost-benefit estimates; 15 cost-effectiveness estimates;
Median (IQI) Cost per QALY saved based on two conversions:
$10,561 ($6,295 to $24,375 and $15,209 ($9,064 to $35,100)
Intervention is cost-effective
Reduced out of pocket cost 3 cost-saving estimates on value-based insurance designs;
No cost per QALY saved estimates
No economic finding – limited/mixed evidence
Clinical decision support systems Limited cost-benefit/cost-effectiveness information No economic finding – inconsistent/incomplete assessment of cost and benefit
SMBP Monitoring

SMBP alone


No cost-benefit estimates
Cost per QALY saved from one study $100,000 and $144,000
2 studies cost-saving
2 studies ineffective


No economic finding – mixed evidence

SMBP with patient support

No cost-benefit estimates
Median (IQI) Cost per QALY saved based on two conversions:
$2,800 ($526 to $5,100) and $4,000 ($757 to $7,400)

Intervention is cost-effective

SMBP within team-based care

No cost-benefit estimates
Median (IQI) Cost per QALY saved based on two conversions:
$7,500 ($4,600 to $79,200) and $10,800 ($6,600 to $114,000)

Intervention is cost-effective
Community health workers Limited evidence on cost-benefit estimates
No cost per QALY saved estimates
No economic finding – limited evidence
