Background The All New Zealand Acute Coronary Syndrome Quality Improvement (ANZACS-QI) program comprises a clinical quality registry of acute coronary syndrome patients admitted to hospitals across New Zealand. Its primary purpose is to improve quality of care by promoting evidence- and guidelines-based practice, and benchmarking against performance targets. Few studies have examined the cost-effectiveness attributed to clinical quality registries. We aimed to evaluate the clinical and cost impacts of the ANZACS-QI program in New Zealand from both a societal and health care system perspective. Methods Using decision analytic Markov models, we estimated the effectiveness and costs of the ANZACS-QI program in each year over 4 years (2013-2016), against a hypothetical scenario where the registry did not exist. We assumed that the ANZACS-QI contributed to 15% of the temporal changes to patient mortality and hospital readmissions for myocardial infarction observed in the study period. Marginal costs of the registry and years of life saved were estimated. Results Over a one-year period, the return on investment (ROI) ratio for the ANZACS-QI program was 1.53; thus, every dollar spent on the program resulted in a return of NZD $1.53. (All dollars are in 2017 New Zealand dollars [NZD] unless otherwise stated). The estimated incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was $113,327 per year of life saved (YoLS). Extending the time horizon to 5 years, reduced the ICER to $19,684 per YoLS. Conclusions The ANZACS-QI program represents a sound investment for New Zealand. Even based on highly conservative assumptions, the program is cost saving for society, at a ROI ratio of about 1.5 each year.
