Patient Outcomes | CNS Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation

CNS BY THE NUMBERS

In today’s healthcare climate, Increasing the quality of care while reducing costs is a constant imperative. With every therapy we offer and every patient we admit, CNS strives to optimize treatment and minimize costs. Patient data reveals that CNS achieves both objectives. Intensive therapy produces a more durable outcome, which in turn reduces future healthcare costs, such as rehospitalization. For payors, families, and patients, the long-term rehabilitation value enhances quality of life post injury and impacts return on investment. CNS outcomes are noted here to inform and guide consumers.

AN INDEPENDENT STUDY

2021 CNS Rehabilitation Performance Report

In a groundbreaking study, CNS outcome data in key areas of rehabilitation delivery was gathered and analyzed by a third-party consultant and consisted of 15 million healthcare claims (covering more than 1 million individuals) over a 5-year period. The consultant is not affiliated with the Centre for Neuro Skills.

Metrics included maximizing treatment, comparing healthcare costs, measuring performance, tracking rehospitalization rates, medication savings, and customer satisfaction scores.

In key areas of rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury and stroke, CNS data reflects an impressive mastery of multidisciplinary care. CNS has focused on outcome-driven solutions since its inception in 1980. The Executive Summary published metrics that substantiate this legacy of innovation.

CNS is the top provider of care on key indicators.

Among patients with over $100,000 in therapy costs.

CNS Is More Efficient Throughout the Stages of Care

CNS monthly costs were compared with facilities like CNS, alternate care, and other care options
After year one, CNS program costs stay below all other patient journeys reviewed
CNS maximizes treatment effect, thus lowering costs – a hallmark of the CNS approach

Patient Care Costs Compared

To establish a baseline comparison with other rehabilitation providers, 15 million brain injury claims were reviewed to identify patient journey value analytics

Drug costs, emergency room visits, and hospital admissions were measured and reviewed 3 years post index event*
Blue Cross and United Health Care claims reviewed longitudinally over 5 years
Per Member Per Month (PMPM) costs compared

CNS patients had the highest monthly cost indicating more medically complex patients at the time of injury and admission to CNS.

Three Years Post Injury, CNS patient monthly cost was 30% lower than Like-CNS facilities

Average PMPM for CNS is 30% lower than other patient journeys
CNS is 50% lower than “other care” or “no care” options
Average PMPM for CNS patients drops 89% in the 3 years following the index event.
This is greatest decline in costs of all patient journeys studied.

CNS patients exhibited the most substantial decline in monthly cost of all patient journeys. By year 3, CNS patient monthly cost was 30% lower than Like-CNS.

SIGNIFICANTly Reduced Readmission and Emergency Room Visits

CNS had the lowest readmission and Emergency Room visit rates post injury
Treatment focuses on intensive therapy/lifelong independence, which reduce rehospitalization
CNS builds a foundation for physical, cognitive, and emotional health post discharge

CNS inpatients had 67% less claims with inpatient admissions and 14% less emergency room visits than Like-CNS facilities.

CNS Patients Save 6x More than Like CNS on Prescription Drugs

Post-therapy, CNS average drug SAVINGS per member per month is $447 – six times higher than “like CNS” providers
CNS advocates for skill building and therapy, less medication dependence
Behavior is frequently treated with modification/skills, medication used as needed

CNS patients’ prescription drug costs were the lowest of all patient journey models beginning the first year after the index-event.

TOTAL LIFETIME SAVINGS OF $1.5 MILLION

Article published in Journal of Neurotrauma found significant life care cost savings in patients who received rehabilitation, vs. other means of treatment
Data underscores the effectiveness of comprehensive brain injury care
Outcome helps payors, families, patients understand long term benefits of CNS’ approach
