\nNew Data Elevate Access to Primary Care and Improved Adherence as Immediate Opportunities for Savings<\/i><\/b>\n<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#FacesofAcceleratedApproval<\/a>–The Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease (PFCD)<\/a> today released new data and analysis on the economic impact of achieving health equity in chronic disease outcomes through 2031. The analysis found that a total of $3.8 trillion in costs could be saved by empowering people with chronic conditions to achieve recommended health outcomes, specifically $2.7 trillion in medical costs and $1.1 trillion in less absenteeism over 10 years. The data assessed people aged 18 and older with insurance who have one or more of nine common conditions: Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, coronary heart disease, stroke, asthma, HIV, arthritis, or colorectal cancer.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cImproving equity in health outcomes for people living with chronic conditions presents significant opportunities to reduce costs and, most importantly, improve the quality of life for millions of Americans. As this analysis shows, empowering people living with chronic conditions to achieve recommended health goals \u2013 that is achieving health equity in outcomes \u2013 benefits everyone,\u201d stated Ken Thorpe, PFCD Chair.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe economic analysis shows that improving health outcomes lowers medical spending and related economic losses across all racial and ethnic groups, though some communities experience higher per capita rates of illnesses and deaths across various health conditions. These inequities persist across insurance status and types as well as socioeconomic levels, and opportunities for health improvement and the resulting savings are universal.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease worked with GlobalData Plc. on this economic model and delivered findings on the national and state level.\n<\/p>\n
