Abstract

Many hospital administrators acknowledge the value of a hospital epidemiologist. However, many hospital epidemiologists are not being paid for their work. To eliminate this inequity, hospital epidemiologists must negotiate contractual relationships successfully with their hospitals or healthcare systems. This article reviews an approach to rectifying this problem that is based on practical experience.
