A cost benefit analysis of outsourced laboratory services.

As healthcare moves toward increased capitation, hospital administrators must be aware of all costs associated with patient services. This article describes the cost benefit analysis process used by northern Indiana hospital consumers during 1994-1995 to evaluate a local laboratory service outsource provider, South Bend Medical Foundation (SBMF). In an effort to meet the best interests of the community at large, three competing hospitals, medical leadership, and the local outsource provider joined forces to ensure that cost effective quality services would be provided. Laboratory utilization patterns for common DRGs were also analyzed. The team created a reconfiguration analysis to help develop benchmark figures for consideration in future contract negotiations.

Making a case for the CDE's role in outsourcing diabetes services to a freestanding outpatient diabetes disease state management center.

Outsourcing of diabetes disease state management services by MCOs is a good thing for enrollees with diabetes. It is a good mechanism for MCOs that are striving to cut the costs of diabetes care, and it is a trend that the authors expect to see continue in an accelerated way, given the new diagnostic guidelines released by the American Diabetes Association and the epidemic of diabetes among older persons. Through a partnership with a quality, freestanding, outpatient diabetes disease state management center staffed by CDEs, MCOs with a vision can expect to profit now and pay less later for devastating, expensive diabetes complications that lead to increased hospitalizations.
