Mean cost-effectiveness outcomes taken from 1000 Monte Carlo simulations modelled over 12 months in a cohort of 96 residents

Modelled outcomes per 96 residents	Intervention	Usual care	Difference
Number of admissions	26	35	−9
Total hospital bed days	132	286	−154
Total costs ($000’s)	5941	6190	−249
Total QALYs	39.75	39.69	0.06
Cost-effectiveness result	Intervention is dominanta

^aA cost-effectiveness result of ‘dominant’ indicates an intervention is both more effective and less costly than the alternative
