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

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.

MDT implementation was associated with lower cost growth over three years without compromising glycaemic control.
