What is a Cost or Resource Use Measure?
• Terminology can be confusing • Resource use, value, relative costs, efficiency• “Efficiency” per IOM is a quality domain
• Distinction b’ween cost & efficiency/value • Costs for a given outcome• Health outcomes per dollar
• Cost & Resource Use Measures• PMPM / patient per year• Per episode costs • Per hospitalization costs • Utilization measures – generic prescribing• Overuse measures • Price transparency – daily price of nursing home
Selection Model
Berwick et al, 2003, Medical Care
Selection of Providers
Concerns with Selection Pathway
1. Consumers typically immune to costs
2. Higher costs = higher quality
3. Lack of trust and understanding
4. Not relevant to decisions actually made
Our view is that in their current form and absent any financial incentives, publicly reporting of cost measures is unlikely to lead to the hoped for consumer response.

Key Take Aways
• In current form cost measures unlikely to have the desired impact
• Consider which pathway on which to focus– Impacts presentation, choice of measures, link to
quality, and financial incentives• Limited scientific evidence base on consumer response
