Healthcare cost trajectories with a multidisciplinary team model: a three-year follow-up from Finnish primary and secondary care

Key Points

• To evaluate the impact of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) model on healthcare cost trajectories over three years.
• Implemented a multidisciplinary team model in Finnish primary and secondary care.
• Followed participants over a three-year period to analyze cost trajectories.
• Measured and compared glycaemic control as a secondary outcome.
• MDT implementation was associated with lower cost growth over three years.
• Glycaemic control remained stable, indicating no compromise in health outcomes.
