Case Study: a large healthcare organization uncovers T2DM cost drivers with PurpleLab

Using Standardized Pricing Models to Learn More About T2DM Costs

PurpleLab partnered with a large healthcare organization that needed to understand the drivers behind high healthcare costs and resource utilization for elderly patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and comorbidities.

Using standardized pricing models and real-world data, PurpleLab analyzed costs over a one-year period. The study quantified the additional cost burdens of specific comorbidities, broke down costs by service type and region, and identified that a significant portion of emergency department visits and hospitalizations were preventable. This analysis provided the client with a comprehensive knowledge base, revealing that preventable complications alone contributed to an additional $1.5 million in annual expenses.
