Institutional yield on research: a case study.
This University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing study on the early discharge of very low birthweight infants led to a care model that saves over $18,000 per infant. The benefits to the institution as a whole, however, have been far greater. They include enhanced faculty and student recruitment as well as $700,000 in indirect cost recovery.
