Reasons for Writing This Book The published literature on the economic appraisal of healthcare acquired infection (HAI) is described by phrases such as: "e;With so many virtues of the cost-benefit approach identified, it is perhaps puzzling why greater use of economic appraisal has not been made in the area of infection control"e; [1] "e;Clinicians should partner with economists and policy analysts to expand and improve the economic evidence available"e; [2] "e;the quality of economic evaluations should be increased to inform decision makers and clinicians"e; [3] "e;The economics of preventing hospital-acquired infections is most often described in general terms.
