Underresourced hospital infection control and prevention programs: penny wise, pound foolish?
OBJECTIVES To estimate the cost of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in a network of 28 community hospitals and to compare this sum to the amount budgeted for infection control programs at each institution and for the entire network. DESIGN We reviewed literature published since 1985 to estimate costs for specific HAIs. Using these estimates, we determined the costs attributable to spec...
متن کاملCompetence to Respond to Floral Inductive Signals Requires the Homeobox Genes PENNYWISE and POUND-FOOLISH
The transition from vegetative to reproductive development establishes new growth patterns required for flowering. This switch is controlled by environmental and/or intrinsic developmental cues that converge at the shoot apical meristem (SAM). During this developmental transition, floral inductive signals cause the vegetative meristem to undergo morphological changes that are essential for flow...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness analysis for priority setting in health: penny-wise but pound-foolish.
Cost-effectiveness analysis has much conceptual attractiveness in priority setting but is not used to its full potential to assist policy-makers on making choices in health in developed or in developing countries. We call for a shift away from present economic evaluation activities-that tend to produce ad hoc and incomparable economic evaluation studies and, therefore, add little to the compend...
متن کاملHospital cost of care, quality of care, and readmission rates: penny wise and pound foolish?
BACKGROUND Hospitals face increasing pressure to lower cost of care while improving quality of care. It is unclear if efforts to reduce hospital cost of care will adversely affect quality of care or increase downstream inpatient cost of care. METHODS We conducted an observational cross-sectional study of US hospitals discharging Medicare patients for congestive heart failure (CHF) or pneumoni...
متن کاملThe role of PENNYWISE and POUND-FOOLISH in the maintenance of the shoot apical meristem in Arabidopsis.
Growth of the aerial part of the plant is dependent upon the maintenance of the shoot apical meristem (SAM). A balance between the self-renewing stem cells in the central zone (CZ) and organogenesis in the peripheral zone (PZ) is essential for the integrity, function, and maintenance of the SAM. Understanding how the SAM maintains a balance between stem cell perpetuation and organogenesis is a ...
