Financial Impact
Hospitals’ chiefs and designers say that building a patient-oriented facility increases marginally the cost of construction, and the extra expense does not pass along to patients. EBD practices, if applied to the whole healthcare system, maximize the capital investment by quantifiably improvements, producing a significant multiyear return on investment. In fact, cost savings resulting from reducing infections, decreasing staff turnover efforts, reducing hospitalization time, properly managed and monitored, match to financial benefits that continue for several years, making the innovations a long-term investment.
