Business Profile for Reducing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

Safe & Sound: An Arizona patient safety initiative through the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association
Phoenix, Arizona, USA

This document provides an example of a business profile stating the need for work to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia and explores the projected impact on resources for a hospital participating in such an initiative.

Background
Directors/managers who know what changes need to occur in their work areas to support patient safety activities often need to ask for additional financial resources. To obtain those resources a business plan document may be needed to state the case. Since those individuals who are requesting the resources often have a clinical background, the concepts of writing and presenting a business plan document may seem intimidating or overwhelming. This tool was developed to assist and guide them in that process.

Directions

Use this example as a reference when developing or modifying a business profile in your own organization. Download the tool for complete instructions.
