“…From the societal and payer perspective, IPS was—on average—less costly and more effective than TVR and return-on-investment estimates showed that IPS was—on average—cost saving (eg, societal perspective: ∆C: −364 (95% CI −3977 to 3249); ∆E: 0.104 (95% CI 0.046 to 0.164); benefit–cost ratio: 2.1 (95% CI −14.8 to 19.1)), but the uncertainty surrounding these estimates was large.Conclusions IPS implemented through a reimbursement strategy on a nationwide scale is more effective and potentially cost-effective than TVR in people with severe mental illness receiving sickness or disability benefits. …”
