Study explores cost of Ebola readiness

Researchers are examining the resources hospitals have used and the challenges and benefits of their efforts


A study led by the Joint Commission is exploring cost of Ebola readiness. Researchers are examining the resources hospitals have used and the challenges and benefits of their efforts, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

The study is being conducted with the Department of Health Services Research, Rhode Island Hospital and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America. 

"One of the key things we're interested in is how much money hospitals expended, and we're hoping to get some kind of national estimate that we will try to break down by a few categories, such as academic hospital vs. nonacademic, large vs. small," Kenneth Rasinski, a project director at the Joint Commission, said in the article.

The Joint Commission began collecting data in June and will complete the process at the end of August.
