HEALTH CARE COST CONTAINMENT COUNCIL

Request for Application--Grant Opportunity

[36 Pa.B. 777]

   The Health Care Cost Containment Council (Council), an independent State government agency, is accepting grant applications for projects that demonstrate the utility of the MedMined Nosocomial Infection MarkerTM and related infection prevention technologies in reducing the human and economic cost of hospital-acquired infections. MedMined, Inc. is a leading technology service provider headquartered in Birmingham, AL.

   This funding opportunity is available to acute care hospitals in this Commonwealth interested in using MedMined's comprehensive electronic approach to hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infection (HAI) surveillance to identify HAIs hospital-wide, analyze the financial impact of HAI using the hospitals' own cost accounting data and target specific infection prevention interventions. To be eligible for this grant opportunity, acute care hospitals in this Commonwealth must, at a minimum, be in compliance with all data reporting requirements of Act 14. Additional requirements are outlined in the Request for Application (RFA).

   A copy of the 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 and Budget, Health Care Cost Containment Council, 225 Market Street, Suite 400, Harrisburg, PA 17101, (717) 232-6787, celias@phc4.org.
