You are a director of the quality improvement department for a large trauma center. For your department, you feel there is a need to purchase  a full-scale simulation room. This simulation room would be outfitted  with the latest tools and simulations for wound management, sterile  surgical process, infection control, and line placements. The overall  goal would be to decrease reinfection rates. The capital need for the  simulation center is $500,000, producing a decrease in cost for  reinfection rates of $120,000 per year.  What type of analysis do you need to do? Who are the stakeholders you need at the table? How do you create a process to succeed in getting the room purchased?
