Tip of the week: Fight for more dollars for IC efforts
Infection Control Monitor, January 18, 2008
If ICPs want additional resources for their department, they may need to make a business case to hospital administrators to justify the increased funding.
With this in mind, the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) recently created a guideline to help ICPs learn how to make an effective business case. Called Raising Standards While Watching the Bottom Line: Making a Business Case for Infection Control, the guideline outlines a nine-step process that ICPs can follow before pitching an idea to their hospital administration.
To learn more about how you can make a case for funding IC efforts, go to www.hcpro.com/content/203732.cfm. The cost is $10. Briefings on Infection Control subscribers received this story with their subscriptions.
