Using one of the studies listed below, research the topics and then formulate two processes to achieve positive outcomes. Then, compare the costs of the two processes by conducting a CEA. You may have to create control and outcome numbers, as well as estimate the costs of each component of the CEA. Use of a comparison table is encouraged. See an example below:

Increase the number of children receiving an annual flu vaccine in a pediatric clinic.

Decrease the number of “no-show” patients with appointments in a physician’s office practice.

Decrease resident falls in a 100-bed nursing home.

Decrease medication errors in a 500-bed acute care hospital.

Decrease wait time in a hospital emergency department (ED).
