Economics and preventing hospital-acquired infection: broadening the perspective.
OBJECTIVE To present a hypothetical model of the change in economic costs and health benefits to society that result from nosocomial infection control programs. DESIGN We use a modeling framework to represent how 2 types of costs change with nosocomial infection control programs: costs incurred by the hospital sector and community health services, as well as the private costs to patients. We ...
متن کاملModels of Hospital Acquired Infection
This chapter will not dwell on how mathematical models are built, better covered elsewhere (Bailey, 1975; Renshaw, 1991; Scott & Smith, 1994; Coen, 2007). It will focus on the impact of mathematical models on the understanding of infections spread in hospitals and their control. Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) made their first appearance with the invention of hospitals, mostly associated wi...
متن کاملEffect of daily chlorhexidine bathing on hospital-acquired infection.
BACKGROUND Results of previous single-center, observational studies suggest that daily bathing of patients with chlorhexidine may prevent hospital-acquired bloodstream infections and the acquisition of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). METHODS We conducted a multicenter, cluster-randomized, nonblinded crossover trial to evaluate the effect of daily bathing with chlorhexidine-impregnated ...
متن کاملEstimating the costs of Hospital Acquired Infection
Hospital acquired infections (HAI) are a largely avoidable and costly burden on public health systems. Accurate estimates of the costs of HAI are necessary to gauge the cost efficiency of alternative infection control measures, but are traditionally very difficult to compute. In particular, existing studies of the costs of HAI do not take into account the possible endogeneity bias between the r...
متن کاملEconomics and Preventing Hospital-acquired Infection
The economics of preventing hospital-acquired infections is most often described in general terms. The underlying concepts and mechanisms are rarely made explicit but should be understood for research and policy-making. We define the key economic concepts and specify an illustrative model that uses hypothetical data to identify how two related questions might be addressed: 1) how much should be...
