Abstract
As a result of the dynamic nature of healthcare reform, many hospitals are being led to reduce expenditures. At the bedside, in our offices, and as leaders, we are frequently being asked to increase efficiency, reduce cost, and “do more with less.” 1 Luther K Savitz L Leaders challenged to reduce cost, deliver more: targeted improvements are critical for creating a culture dedicated to efficiency and quality. Healthc Exec. 2012; 27 (80-81.): 78 PubMed Google Scholar The cost of educating staff is no exception and warrants analysis. In an effort to move away from costly educational initiatives without supportive data, one is challenged with evaluating and negotiating educational needs. The ongoing question of whether undesirable patient outcomes are related to knowledge deficiencies or staff compliance will always exist, but we no longer have the resources to waste on searching for solutions.
