MethodsStudy Selection
Greater Manchester Primary Care Patient Safety Translational Research Centre
Population: Adults (18+) with long-term conditionsIntervention:Identifying ‘at-risk’ patients to case manageCase management Primary care/community-basedComparison:Usual care or no-case management
Outcomes:Health – self-assessed health status, mortality;Cost – total cost of care, healthcare utilisation (primary and non-specialistcare and secondary care separately), and; Satisfaction – patient satisfactionStudy design:Cochrane EPOC methodology (RCT, nRCT, CBA, ITS)

MethodsData Analysis
Greater Manchester Primary Care Patient Safety Translational Research Centre
Quantitative data extracted
Self-assessed health status
• (Instrumental/) Activities of Daily Living
• Physical/ mental health questionnaires
• Bed days/ restricted activity days
• Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs)
Mortality
• Mortality within study period
Total cost of services
• Total cost
• Total insurance expenditure/ reimbursement
Utilisation of primary and non-specialist care
• Primary care physician visits
• Home care visits
• Social worker visits
• Nursing visits
Utilisation of secondary care
• Emergency Department visits
• Hospital admissions/ re-admissions/ days
• Inpatient/outpatient utilisation
• Skilled nursing facility visits/ days
• Ambulance calls
• Specialist visits
Patient satisfaction
• Patient satisfaction questionnaires
• Patient quality of care ratings
Short-term(0-12months)
Long-term(13+months)
