Cost savings justification/analysis for Med Safety

Hello friends,
Would anyone be able to share any literature or any resources that utilizes cost savings or cost justification to support the addition of med safety positions for a healthcare system where the Med Safety Officer (me) has direct oversight of 8 hospitals, 5 free standing Eds, and 6 infusion centers? I am also expected to assist with retail pharmacies and ambulatory clinics. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pratixa Patel
