Cost-utility analysis of a multispecialty interprofessional team dementia care model in Ontario, Canada.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To examine the cost-effectiveness of Multi-specialty INterprofessional Team (MINT) Memory Clinic care in comparison to the provision of usual care.

Design

Using a Markov-based state transition model, we performed a cost-utility (costs and quality-adjusted life years, QALY) analysis of MINT Memory Clinic care and usual care not involving MINT Memory Clinics.

Setting

A primary care-based Memory Clinic in Ontario, Canada.

Participants

The analysis included data from a sample of 229 patients assessed in the MINT Memory Clinic between January 2019 and January 2021.

Primary outcome measures

Effectiveness as measured in QALY, costs (in Canadian dollars) and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio calculated as the incremental cost per QALY gained be
