September 3, 2025A practice facilitation-guided intervention in primary care settings to reduce cardiovascular disease risk: a cost analysis
A stepped-wedge, cluster randomized controlled trial assessed the effectiveness of practice facilitation(PF) for adoption of guidelines for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease risk factors. This study estimated the associated cost of PF for guideline adoption in small, private primary care practices. The PF strategy costs approximately $10,000 per practice per quarter for program and practice costs, once implemented and running at highest efficiency. Whether this program is “worth it” to the decision-maker depends on the relative costs and effectiveness of their other options for improving cardiovascular risk reduction.
