We’ve received many COVID vaccine questions lately and this is a fantastic resource that pretty much covers it all! Great resource @PaulSaxMD! @AdventHealth #CovidVaccine #IDtwitter

[Paul Sax @PaulSaxMD]

Lots of questions about the Covid-19 vaccines -- here are some of the more common ones, with my answers. Directed at clinicians, but probably something here for all. Any that we missed?

[SIDP @SIDPharm]

Please join us in celebrating @SIDPharm member @amylcarr for going above and beyond during the #COVID19 pandemic! Here’s a quick statement from one of her peers at @AdventHealth @asapatah that nominated her for the SIDP Member Spotlight! #IDTwitter

[Antimicrobial Stewardship Awareness Program @ASAPatAH]

Great discussions yesterday at the @AdventHealth Research Conf! Our PGY1 Pharmacy Residents presented their great work in #infectiousdiseases. Moral of the story: reduce abx Rx on discharge! Who's got clever ways to manage this? #IDtwitter @SIDPharm @FSHPOfficial

[Antimicrobial Stewardship Awareness Program @ASAPatAH]

Great work by @vherreramd and team! Proud to have innovative leaders at @AdventHealthCFL to lead us through these times! #feelingwhole #caretransformation https://t.co/xuRazYq87W

This is incredibly exciting! So proud of our expert #twitterlesschrisensor for leading out on this initiative. Thank you @AdventHealthCFL for leading the way once again! #IDtwitter #twitterRx #COVID19

[AdventHealth Central Florida @AdventHealthCFL]

In partnership with @my1blood, AdventHealth is among one of the first hospitals in the country to offer a cutting edge treatment for patients with severe cases of #COVID19 – the blood plasma of patients who’ve recovered from the disease. Learn more: https://t.co/TB4X3bNPfi

Our infectious diseases colleagues across @AdventHealthCFL are rising to the call of their profession and leading the way. Sincere thanks to our ID physicians, IPs, pharmacists, and microbiologists for their tireless efforts! #feelingwhole

[AdventHealth Central Florida @AdventHealthCFL]

To all of our team members, you continue to show up every day with uncommon compassion and an unwavering commitment to our patients and their families. We thank you for keeping our communities safe.

[Antimicrobial Stewardship Awareness Program @ASAPatAH]

So thankful to have leaders @AdventHealthCFL like @AlexAle88405739 and his lab team. They have worked tirelessly around the clock to provide testing for #COVID19. We appreciate you and are beyond blessed to work alongside you! #CoronavirusPandemic #WeAreID #IDTwitter

[Alex Alexander @AlexAle88405739]

When Med Techs are on the bench testing for COVID19, lab assistants are moving all around the lab. These dedicated lab professionals make the workflow and organization of the testing process possible. A BIG THANKS without them by our side, my 24h work wouldn't be possible

[Antimicrobial Stewardship Awareness Program @ASAPatAH]

Had a great site visit from the @CDCgov yesterday to expand access to patients with severe malaria. Glad @AdventHealthCFL has the opportunity to significantly decrease the time to deliver artesunate to those in urgent need! #feelingwhole #extendingthehealingministry

[Antimicrobial Stewardship Awareness Program @ASAPatAH]

Proud of the accomplishments of our pharmacy, microbiology, and care transformation teams at @AdventHealthCFL! Four abstracts were submitted and all 4 will be presented this year @ECCMID! Way to go @AlexAle88405739 @vherreramd @amylcarr @ASTPharmD #feelingwhole #ECCMID2020

[ESCMID @ESCMID]

Abstract notifications are sent out.
If you don't have yours yet, be patient...the server is working hard to process all those emails.
For your convenience, this year we sent mails to the submitter and the presenting author as well!

New update from @CDCgov on the biggest antibiotic resistant threats. We often speak loosely about #AntibioticResistance but need to remember the why.....

Last but most certainly not least, a huge thanks to @ASTPharmD, Dr. Herrera and @amylcarr for planning a wonderful symposium. Thanks to all who attended! 🦠

An enormous thank you to our Platinum Sponsors for helping make our first year a success! @Allergan @CepheidNews @MelintaTx @biomerieux_inc @T2Bio @BioFireDX @Merck and GenMark!

[Antimicrobial Stewardship Awareness Program @ASAPatAH]

The controversy surrounding isolating patients with endemic MDROs (e.g. MRSA, VRE) continues. More hospitals discontinuing isolation on these patients with positive results... we’ll have to stay tuned for more data to help direct a definitive recommendation!

[Antimicrobial Stewardship Awareness Program @ASAPatAH]

Our grand finale comes to us from Dr. Vincent Hsu, Hospital Epidemiologist and Executive Director of Infection Prevention for AdventHealth Orlando. When discussing placing patients on isolation, he states that how you do it is just as important as what you do.

[Antimicrobial Stewardship Awareness Program @ASAPatAH]

Some unintended consequences of placing patients on isolation: depression, decreased time spent with healthcare workers, delays in care, and decreased patient satisfaction. Important to keep in mind as we care for these individuals!
