From the reviews: "This book on the cost of healthcare-associated infectious is written from an economic rather than an accounting perspective, a difference that is explained in detail ! . It is written for infection-control personnel and infectious disease practitioners with no prior knowledge of economics. ! Graduate and professional students and researchers in health-related fields with an interest in healthcare epidemiology may find this book a helpful introduction. ! it is easy to read and clearly organized."
