Evaluation of studies of health economics

A rural hospital hires a new infection control professional, EL, who has just received her master's degree and trained in infection control departments that were up to date on the best evidence. EL reviews the infection control policies and learns that traditional central line catheters are used. Where she trained, a new, more expensive, antiseptic catheter was used. The new catheter is impregnated with chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine and costs 25 more than the traditional catheter.
