Building the Business Case for Diabetes Self Management: A Handbook for Program Managers
This handbook was conceived to meet the need to assemble in one place the rationale, methods and tools for building a business case for self management of diabetes.
--Chapter 1 provides the rationale for establishing a business case for implementing quality-enhancing interventions in diabetes, discusses procedural steps and methodological issues that must be addressed in developing a business case, and suggests conditions that should be met for an organization to embark on a successful business case analysis.
--Chapter 2 addresses the nonfinancial business case in greater depth. It introduces an expanded framework for the business case, taking into account other perspectives such as those of customers, communities and regulators.
--Chapter 3 presents the Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet templates for computing the return on investment for quality-enhancing interventions in a variety of settings. [download templates] [download sample]
--Chapter 4 provides a brief review of the evidence of the cost-effectiveness of self-management support in diabetes. The handbook ends with a bibliography that expands on the chapter references. [download handbook]
