I’m in the pseudo clabsi outbreak presentation #APIC2022
Good review of mediports, communication when an outbreak is suspected, and what steps to take when considering whether or not bacterial isolates are ‘related’ so to speak. #apic2022
Observations in procedure area showed some opportunities including drift from standard practices.
Tim editorial:
How many of us in IP have heard or experienced this before? Reinforces the need to be in the clinical space.
@ChildrensPhila has a phenomenal HH program. This area was typically out of the scope that program but internal partnership showed no HH opportunities for improvement (that’s impressive).
Pulse field gel electrophoresis (think: bacterial fingerprinting) showed no relationship. So a cluster occurred but the infections were not related to one another.
Despite the lack of relation improvement efforts were adopted based on the investigation

Motivation for change management. One of the speakers had to go to a client hospital for a State IP Audit. Peak IP right there. Being pulled from one important thing to take care of another. #apic2022
