What Cura offers.

Three ways to work with Cura, all built around the same scope: surveillance, reporting, and the data infrastructure that makes both defensible.

A bounded engagement to stand up reliable NHSN reporting, validated surveillance data, a working dashboard, and a documented surveillance workflow your team can sustain.

Right for facilities transitioning IP coverage, recovering from a failed submission cycle, preparing for a regional rollout, or starting to formalize what used to live in a binder.

Foundation engagements start at $9,500, scoped precisely on the discovery call.

After Foundation, an ongoing engagement that handles surveillance data, NHSN submissions, dashboard refresh, and a recurring review with your DON or IP delegate. Three tiers calibrated to facility size, complexity, and how much steady-state support the program needs.

Each tier defines its own SLA, monthly hour cap, and inclusions.

Tier 1

Essential

For smaller facilities with stable IP coverage. Monthly NHSN submission, dashboard refresh, quarterly review.

Tier 2

Standard

For facilities with active surveillance needs. Monthly submission, dashboard, monthly DON review, action log.

Tier 3

Premium

For complex facilities or small chains. Everything in Standard plus add-on capacity, faster SLA, included scorecard work.

Specific scopes that attach to a Foundation or Managed engagement: CAUTI bundle, antimicrobial stewardship dashboard, scorecard work, training modules, outbreak surveillance support, dashboard refinement.

Fixed-fee when scope is bounded. Time-and-materials with a cap when scope is genuinely uncertain.

Compare

Which engagement fits.

The same scope, three ways to engage. Foundation builds the system, Managed Surveillance keeps it running, and Add-Ons cover specific needs on top of either.

Foundation Build

Fixed-fee · 4–6 weeks

Best for: Facilities standing up (or rebuilding) reliable surveillance and NHSN reporting.
Typical use case: Transitioning IP coverage, recovering from a failed submission cycle, or formalizing what used to live in a binder.
Core deliverables: Validated surveillance dataset
Working dashboard
Documented NHSN runbook
Cleaning recipes for your EHR exports
Cadence / timing: One-time build, delivered over 4–6 weeks.
Not included: Ongoing monthly submission or review (see Managed).

Recurring core

Managed Surveillance

Monthly retainer · 3 tiers

Best for: Facilities that want the built system kept current and defensible month over month.
Typical use case: Steady-state operation after Foundation, calibrated to facility size and complexity.
Core deliverables: Monthly NHSN submission
Dashboard refresh
DON / IP delegate review
Carried-forward action log
Cadence / timing: Recurring monthly cycle with a defined SLA per tier.
Not included: Initial build (Foundation is the prerequisite).

Add-On Support

Modular · per scope

Best for: A specific, bounded need on top of a Foundation or Managed engagement.
Typical use case: CAUTI bundle, AMS dashboard, scorecard work, training modules, or outbreak surveillance support.
Core deliverables: CAUTI bundle
Antimicrobial stewardship dashboard
Scorecard / training modules
Outbreak surveillance support
Cadence / timing: Fixed-fee when bounded; capped T&M when scope is uncertain.
Not included: Standalone work — attaches to Foundation or Managed.

What Cura doesn't do.

Cura is specific about scope, because that's how good work happens. I don't do full IP program build-out, bedside practice change or coaching, direct survey defense, IPC program leadership, or RN clinical hours. If you need those, I can usually point you to someone who does — and I partner well with full-scope IPs already in those roles.

SNF Surveillance Readiness Checklist

A plain, one-page checklist for pressure-testing your facility’s surveillance and NHSN reporting before a survey — the same starting points I use on a Foundation build.

What it covers

Data sources and export cadence are documented
Line-list definitions match NHSN protocols
A submission runbook exists and is current
Validation catches gaps before they reach the dashboard
An action log carries findings month to month

Request the checklist

No PHI, no sign-up required — just ask and I’ll send it.

Foundation is a fixed fee starting at $9,500. Managed Surveillance is a monthly retainer that varies by tier. Add-Ons are quoted per scope. I share specific pricing on the discovery call.
