Impact of quality of service in the direct cost of integrated home care services.
Article in Health systems (Basingstoke, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The health and social care sectors grapple with challenges amid population growth and escalating service costs, necessitating enhanced management efficiency. This study centers on Quality of Service (QoS) in integrated home health and social care, assessing its impact on costs. Delving into financial considerations and user perspectives, we propose QoS measures based on consultations with stakeholders. To address the scheduling and routing problems associated with caregiver planning, we introduce a mixed integer linear programming model. We conduct a study and computational experiments to gain valuable insights into the relationship between QoS measures and the overall cost of the service. Findings empower managers to navigate the trade-off between QoS and expenses, offering valuable guidance for decision-making. Ultimately, this work contributes to the development of new strategies and approaches for more efficient and effective management of health and social care in the face of current challenges.
