📣 Featured as an “Influential Publication in Health Care Epidemiology” at #IDWeek2025:
📝Study on awareness of peripheral IV catheters (AJIC 2024).

Highlighting the need for better strategies to boost provider awareness of PIVs & ensure timely, appropriate care & removal.

🧠 When your work shapes discussion at #IDWeek2025:
 
HMS work by Gupta A et al. (BMJ Qual Saf 2023; JAMA IM 2024) was cited in a talk on pneumonia diagnostic uncertainty & empiric antibiotic use. Impact isn’t always on stage—sometimes it shapes how clinicians think.

📢 Wrapping up today's #IDWeek2025 highlights:

For hospitalized patients with uncomplicated UTI, HMS data shows shorter antibiotic durations are just as safe.
✅ No difference in outcomes
⚠️ Longer courses = ↑ risk of adverse drug events

Less is more.

📢 #IDWeek2025 feature by @valerievaughnmd.bsky.social: HMS data supported validation of 2 eCQMs for hospitalized patients with uncomplicated CAP

These measures:
✅ Target abx duration & empiric selection
✅ Reliable, valid, Battelle-endorsed
✅ Under review for CMS MUC list

📊 Check out this HMS member poster presentation from Henry Ford Health at #IDWeek2025!

EMR tools (ABX counter and stop date carryover) improved CAP antibiotic duration— <6-day regimens rose from 54%→74%, with no adverse impact on patient outcomes.

Smarter tools = safer care.
