In Dr. Okonofua's original paper, this patient's therapeutic inertia is calculated as where h is the number of visits with an uncontrolled condition, c is the number of visits in which a change was made, and v is the total number of visits.[1] Therefore, the patient's therapeutic inertia is .
An alternative, which avoids consideration of visits where the condition was already controlled and the provider should not be expected to make a treatment change, is . Using the above example, there are 2 changes and 4 visits with an uncontrolled condition. The therapeutic inertia is .
Reception
Therapeutic inertia was devised as a metric for measuring treatment of hypertension. It has now become a standard metric for analysing treatment of common comorbidities such as diabetes[2] and hyperlipidemia.[3] Healthcare feedback reporting processes and intervention studies focused on therapeutic inertia reduction have been shown to increase control of hypertension (as well as diabetes and hyperlipidemia).[4]
