Answer to Question 1

A
Research by Lake and Friese; Aiken, Smith, and Lake; and Aiken, Sloane, Lake, Sochalski, and Weber

University of Colorado Hospital Model are patient preference; clinical expertise; cost-effective
analysis; infection control data (not comparison analysis data); benchmarking data; pathophysiology;
retrospective or concurrent chart review; quality improvement and risk data; and international,
national, and local standards.
