Those results look pretty good to me: 71% UD for DOT vs 44% without. What it tells me is that for the people in whom it works, we just can’t stop. Resource intensive? Sure. But so is the alternative.

Shocking - Cost effective to do what works even if that means it’s pricey up front. our population’s retention challenges are so heterogeneous- there isnt a silver bullet to fix all. We’ll need many different pathways. A menu of options for patients, so to speak.
agreed, but how do you get that paid for? RW $? Hospital $? Seems like the hospital would seem to benefit the most by preventing those long MICU stays, but it would be a tough sell.
Remember, as @RWalensky says, “cost effective does not mean cheap”.
