In today's reimbursement climate, where hospitals will increasingly be compensated for performance, it has become evident that the business-case discussion must be about the potential long-term savings from cost avoidance due to a reduction in avoidable adverse events that represent huge costs to both the health care organisation and the patients and families who receive care.

Please help me explain the phrases highlighed in red
Thanks!

There are a number of aspects to a hospital. Obviously the primary one is heal;thcare, but these days they have to also provide value for money... this is the 'business' side of hospital life - considerations such as profits, losses, added value, etc. When discussing this sort of aspect of a hospital, then managers will put forward a business-case (this is how the hospital should operate in order to provide value for money). This phrase refers to talks about such business-cases, What the contents of such business-cases ought to make reference to.

avoidable adverse events... things that go wrong which could have been avoided.
