With increasing costs of hospital visits and increased availability of sophisticated home equipment, it is expected that more and more people will receive post-operative care or treatment of chronic conditions at home. A recent survey, however, says otherwise. The survey discovered that the majority of respondents who recently received equipment for treatment at home reported no reduction in the number of hospital visits.
Which additional information, if true, about the patients who received sophisticated home equipment be taken into account along with the information above to evaluate whether providing the equipment is likely to lead to a net decrease in the number of hospital visits and hence the corresponding treatment costs?
Options:
A. The proportion of patients who visited the hospital for post-operative care or treatment of chronic diseases versus those who visited to get trained on how to operate the equipment.
B. The initial out-of-pocket costs borne by patients receiving the equipment to the costs borne by patients opting for post-operative care at the hospital.
C. Comparison of the time required to render post-operative care at home with that at the hospital.
D. The extent to which the patients who had sophisticated home equipment met their professional commitments.
E. The number of treatments that patients have to go through when using sophisticated home equipment versus that when visiting the hospital.
