The costs for individual health care associated infections will be based on calculating both the direct cost and the indirect cost which are associated with the disease. Objectives:Assessing the various factors contributing to the development of ABC costing model for HAI and develop a costing model taking all the possible factors into consideration. Methods:Defining of the activities and process of HAI for the given institution as per the standard regulatory / recommendatory guidelines. System analysis and costing of process for the various activities for implementation of the HAI system. Results:Various parameters for HAI as per ABC model has been explained for health care associated infections. Conclusion:ABC Costing model helps to identify the factors responsible for setting health care and the cost involved in it.
