Our program is an example of the type of change the healthcare legislation is attempting to implement: producing better patient outcomes while reducing costs. Dollars spent in the HMR Program are better-spent healthcare dollars because the program costs are partially offset by reductions in medication costs and even further supported by reductions in risk factors affecting future health costs. A study recently published in the journal, Current Clinical Pharmacology, showed combined average cost savings on medication of $1,460.00 in the first year for HMR patients with greater savings each additional year. It was also estimated that, averaging all patients, there was a $29.00 per week savings on their food bills. Our program provides quality patient outcomes that are extremely cost effective.
