Health Care Cost Containment Council and the Jewish Healthcare Foundation Grant Opportunity
[35 Pa.B. 3186] The Health Care Cost Containment Council (Council), an independent Commonwealth government agency, and the Jewish Healthcare Foundation (JHF), a private foundation, are accepting grant applications for demonstration projects designed to reduce the number and cost of hospital-acquired infections. The Council and JHF will accept and evaluate applications for projects designed to reduce the number and cost of hospital-acquired infections, such as surgical site infection, Foley catheter associated urinary tract infection, central line associated bloodstream infection and ventilator associated pneumonia.
This funding opportunity is available to acute care hospitals in this Commonwealth interested in developing a team of medical and administrative professionals dedicated to the implementation, evaluation and improvement of current protocols associated with the prevention of hospital-acquired infections. The project must be designed to demonstrate the business case for eliminating hospital-acquired infection. A copy of the Request for Application (RFA) can be downloaded from the Council's website: www.phc4.org. Questions regarding this RFA should be addressed to Cherie Elias, Director of Administration, (717) 232-6787, celias@phc4.org.
