Overseas and domestic studies on the financial burden of hospital-acquired infection / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Based on analysis of researches in China and abroad on financial burden of hospital acquired infection,the paper named key setbacks in such a study in China and advocated prospective studies in this regard.Furthermore,the authors proposed studies on the financial burden incurred by years of life lost due to such infection,and that on the burden from the hospital perspectives.On the basis of direct and indirect financial burdens,the assessment and dynamic analysis of overall financial burden were proposed,to establish a uniform evaluation method or guidance for such infection and ensure the compatibility of various research outcomes.
