"By setting forth minimum evaluation standards , IHPM supports
greater transparency in the procurement and evaluation of disease and
other care management services," states Meyer, "the principles
embedded in the PHII's simple yet fundamental ethical guidelines are
designed to move from 'buyers beware,' to the now famous standard for
dealing with both political and business partners: 'trust, but

IHPM Issues Statement on Determining Economic Value of Disease Management Programs for Employers; Recommendations Outline Path to Objectivity and Credibility

Cragg, Jr. Walborn asks a disheartening question: "In a
continuously modernizing world, does maintaining the moral legitimacy of one's
norms and values (and the possibility of an ethical life ) require the power
and ingenuity to disguise certain harms as moral goods?"
According to Mr .

To this end, IHPM today is endorsing a basic set of ethical

benchmarking services for public and private sector organizations., Michael Baker

The DM and health plan industry responses to the CBO report made
these four basic points: 1) DM has clinical value (as acknowledged by
the CBO); 2) DM customers are satisfied with such services; 3) DM is
growing at a consistent, even accelerating rate of growth; but that
4) the CBO report did not mention all the studies (published and
unpublished) on DM value, especially more recent studies indicating
that DM does have economic value."
Given differing conclusions about the economic value of DM, the

employee illness on business performance, choose the best

The IHPM position statement addresses the October 13, 2004, CBO
report entitled "An Analysis of the Literature on Disease Management
Programs" and the reactions to it by the Disease Management
Association of America (DMAA) and America's Health Insurance Plans
(AHIP).
"The challenge facing employers right now," says Meyer , "is knowing
whether to accept the conclusions reached by the CBO, a non-partisan,
independent government agency, or the claims of the providers of DM
services."
"Good clinical evidence indicates that improvements in functional
status and productivity are well within reach when delivered in a
comprehensive and well coordinated way with other health benefits, and
when properly measured ," adds Thomas Wilson, PhD, DrPH, Founder and
Board Chair of the PHII and a noted epidemiologist.
