Here we grow again! 🌠

Welcome to the 8 new LIBRA sites that are now a part of our BrighT STAR LHC. LIBRA is a pilot study exploring the impact of different strategies for blood culture reduction in PICUs. #BrighTSTAR #LHC

Urmi Kumar recently presented her ongoing work with @asicksamuels.bsky.social using Qualitative Comparative Analysis to evaluate effective implementation strategies in BrighT STAR stewardship. 🤗 Congratulations on an exciting presentation! #BrighTSTAR #LHC

Our new statistician Nora used BrighT STAR data for her thesis. Through a simulation study, she highlighted thoughtful consideration of data assumptions and estimand selection for planning multi-site quality improvement studies. Welcome to the team Nora! #BrighTSTAR #LHC

Dell Children’s hosted @asicksamuels.bsky.social for Grand Rounds to discuss the BrighT STAR Respiratory culture stewardship program, a focus at Dell. Since 2018, Dell has been part of ✨BrighT STAR LHC✨, when they began Blood culture stewardship. We look forward to the next 7 years of collaboration!

Having finished up one month in 2025, take a look back at our January BrighT STAR Newsletter! ✨ #BrighTSTARLHC #LHC #BrighTSTAR

Urmi Kumar presented at the Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health titled, "Perceived facilitators and barrier for implementing diagnostic stewardship of respiratory cultures in PICUs across a multicenter collaborative". ✨ Congratulations on a wonderful poster! #LHC

Introducing our very first Thought Bubble Thursday!

Wondering what is new in BrighT STAR? Take a quick look at our November newsletter! #LearningHealthCommunity

Last Thursday, we held our 1st BrighT STAR Alumni call! After the success of BrighT STAR Blood and Respiratory and our expansion into Europe, we are excited to continue our mission via a larger Learning Health Community. Our work is far from over! #LHC

As a Learning Health Community, we strive to create an environment that allows institutions with common values to tackle shared problems. With BrighT STAR, we take on an academic focus, generating evidence to disseminate to institutions with the aim of helping critically ill children. #LHC
