- Recommendation ID
- NG63/1
- Question
Cost effectiveness:- What is the cost effectiveness of interventions to prevent infection and promote the appropriate use of antimicrobials?
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) Why this is important:- Lack of studies reporting the costs associated with interventions for either infection prevention or antimicrobial use may act as a barrier to their implementation. Studies with high quality research designs and appropriate cost effectiveness measures are needed to assess this. If research funding bodies ensure cost effectiveness measures are included in research, this will provide the data needed to support the analysis of cost effectiveness.
