Medical Homes

As resources continue to become more scarce in our industry, I'm wondering whether anyone has developed an effective approach to objectively evaluating program investments across the continuum of care. In my view, we have well established methods for prioritizing opportunities in the hospital arena. However, when we try to compare initiatives across the continuum it becomes more challenging, in my view. Is it more valuable for an organization to pursue a medical home strategy, or expand its cardiac surgery program? What metrics do you believe would be helpful in determining how to "funnel" investment dollars - community need, ROI, etc? How does your organization's management process support this kind of decision-making, particularly when key measures often provide evidence that supports different paths forward? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
