CDC: You must rule out other viruses including #influenza #RSV during pandemic when testing #COVID19 OIG: if you do that, U should be investigated for fraud and abuse. đ”âđ«đ”âđ«đ”âđ« @BioFireDX & @QIAGEN are the best #covidtests for patients who feel sick. FULL STOP. Despite JDs advice 
cdc.gov/flu/profession⊠GEEZ WHY CANâT WE FIND COVID TESTING ANYWHERE??? Despite best medical practice, OIG wants to investigate you for doing whatâs right for the patient, then the lawyers will decide. Who will offer tests with that Damocletian risk.
To be clear there is zero need to do allergy skin testing OR PGX pharmacogenomic tests when evaluating for COVID testing. Lumping the first FDA approved #COVID19 test with these shows how bad lawyers are at understanding medical care. Yet all too willing to attack good docs/labs
Antibiotikaresitenzen sind eine gesundheitspolitische Herausforderung, die uns noch Jahrzehnte begleiten wird.
Wir brauchen endlich flĂ€chendeckende Schulungen zum differenzierten und rationalen Antibiotika-Einsatz unter Ărzten und sonstigem Fachpersonal.

Die @ECDC_EU schĂ€tzt, dass jĂ€hrlich rund 35000 TodesfĂ€lle die folge von Antibiotika-Resistenzen sind, die Tendenz ist trotz RĂŒckgĂ€ngen im Antibiotika-Verbrauch abgesehen vom Pandemie-Jahr 2020 bei allen Infektionen und Erregern steigend.

Gravierend finde ich immer noch den LĂ€ndervergleich, welcher klar zeigt, dass es sich auszahlt, hier Geld und Personal zu investieren.
Egal ob Infektionen, TodesfÀllen oder DALYs, es ziehen sich deutliche Grenzen durch Europa. Deutschland ist hier bestenfalls Mittelfeld.

The problem?
âą Hospitals are PAID off documentation (even surgeries)
âą Documentation needs to be specific & accurate
âą Doctors language â coding language

1. You CAN code off of probability.
Youâre a doctor. You can make a clinical diagnosis. You do not need perfect objective data to prove it.
âPresumedâ or âsuspectedâ is okay.
(For inpatient only. Sorry outpatient docs)

High yield talk by Pablo Sanchez at #IDWeek2020 session Antimicrobial Stewardship in Pediatric ICUs excellent bundle for #NICU #antibioticstewardship @eerogersmd @PfaffMd excellent work highlighted by @InfectiousNeo @PedsPharmD
Great summary of the harms of broad spectrum antibiotics in #NICU - greeter risk with cephalosporin > aminoglycoside-based therapy
Each additional day adds risk and combined with what we know from @PedsPharmD oral abstract on Global PPS there is a lot of variability in duration - big opportunity to standardize & shorten
