See how much your organisation could save on DVT and heart failure referrals while improving the patient experience of their care by reducing unnecessary visits to hospital.
1 - Type in the population your locality covers (If you are unsure of the population, you may wish to input the average CCG population of 226,000)
2 - Enter the cost of a DVT and/or heart failure referral (If you are unsure of the cost, a representative referral cost is provided for DVT and heart failure which can be over-written)
3 - The potential savings for the first year will be displayed (This model is based on incidence rates for DVT and heart failure. The calculations used are based on published data illustrating that 70-80% of patients presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of DVT do not have DVT. About 40% of patients with suspected heart failure have the diagnosis confirmed8]. 58% of patients that are referred for suspicion of DVT and 48% that are referred for suspicion of heart failure can be ruled out. Actual costs and savings will depend on the specifics of your locality and service set up).
