Interventions to Promote Health and Increase Health Care Efficiency: April 2018 Update

Open Publication PDF

Eva Westley, Sara del Moral, Madeline Barch, Michael Hirsch, Paige Wanner, Casey Hicks - April 2018

WSIPP's Board of Directors authorized WSIPP to work on a joint project with the MacArthur Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts to extend WSIPP’s benefit-cost analysis to certain health care topics. In this report, we present findings on interventions to promote health and increase health care efficiency for older adults, including: 1) interventions to prevent falls and 2) interventions for older adults with dementia and/or their caregivers. We describe whether the interventions achieve effects on desired outcomes, and, if so, the magnitudes of those effects. We present benefit-cost results for these interventions, when possible.
