Hospital Aquired Infection (HAI) Lawsuit Costs |
 |
 |
|
The cost of defending a
SERIOUS HAI LAWSUIT and the jury awards would MORE LIKELY be from $1 TO $3
MILLION.
For an average hospital ONE or TWO of these lawsuits would pay for the hospital to have ALL OF THEIR AIR HANDLER units equipped with
the G 1000 units. If the MEDICAL CENTERS
AVOIDED these by installing the GENANO 1000
units this would ELIMINATE 50% of
HAIs for the next 10 years. Following are the savings occurred by the
installation:
SAVINGS:
|
Number of HAI DEATHS OVER 10 YEARS
|
90
|
|
Number of HAIs OVER
10 YEARS
|
1,740
|
|
Cost of HAIs OVER 10 YEARS - CDC
|
$62.5 MILLION
|
|
Cost of HAIs – PENNSYLVANIA – OVER 10 YEARS
|
$267 MILLION
|
It is sad to say but pain, suffering, and
deaths saved do not make the impression on management/owners as much as helping
the bottom line.
