Acute Team Odense delivers value in terms of savings across the healthcare system, and the net societal cost associated with the acute team is 70% below the expenditure.
In our recent study commissioned by Acute Team Odense (ATO), we find that the net societal cost associated with ATO is DKK 2.3m, which is 70% below the expenditure for ATO as they deliver value in terms of savings across the healthcare system and society at large.
The savings amounts to DKK 2.3m in health economic savings and DKK 3m in socioeconomic savings. In addition, we show that there are other positive benefits of ATO beyond those quantified in our model, such as meeting citizens’ preference for treatment at home vs in a hospital, faster blood sample collection, more timely diagnosing, and more.
