Results published in the prestigious American Journal of Medicine showed that COPD patients cared for by primary care providers who participated in QURE training are less likely to go the ED, be hospitalized, or be referred to a specialist. These findings, published with Henry Ford Health, showed 27% fewer ED visits, 8% fewer hospitalizations, and 37% fewer pulmonology referrals among patients with COPD cared for by QURE-participating PCPs compared to patients managed by PCPs at Henry Ford who were not invited to participate in QURE. These changes generated $1.36 million in savings, or nearly $2,000 per participating provider annually, and map closely with improvements in evidence-based care decisions measured in the QURE patient simulations. This shows that personalized, feedback-driven training is a scalable, cost-effective strategy to improve outcomes and improve financial performance in value-based primary care.
