What would QIKcap cost, and what would it need to prevent?

Enter your facility's numbers. Every assumption is visible and adjustable, so your committee can test it.

How this is calculated

Line-days = beds × 365 × utilization. Expected CABSIs = line-days ÷ 1,000 × baseline rate. Avoided = expected × connector share × assumed reduction. Cost per CABSI: $48,108, AHRQ estimate of additional hospital cost, which already reflects longer stays, so no separate length-of-stay cost is added.
