We have very few outpatient therapies for #omicron and not much of any of them yet. Now with @NIH
recommendation would be great if @Medicaregov
@hhsgov could cover home infusion remdesivir for 3 doses? We need more options to keep patients out of hospitals. #twitteRx #idtwitter

Mike Pence led the biggest concentrated HIV outbreak in U.S. history while he was governor in Indiana because he opposed needle-exchange programs and now has led the country to over 210,000 COVID-19 deaths. Do not listen to a damn thing he says about public health.

Peaceful protests didn’t work so the suffragettes chained themselves to buildings and set fires. I wouldn’t be able to vote if women hadn’t committed acts of violence. When the system refuses to listen to the polite conversation the answer is to get loud.

Excited to be at #IDWeek2019 but going to need a while to wake up from west coast time... @IDSAInfo @PIDSociety

One of the reasons I love studying people who DO stewardship/infection prevention is because they enact the policies that we all count on to improve the quality of care on a daily basis. Thinking about change without considering their experiences is shortsighted. #PIDSASP19

@JulieSzymczak 🙌 Thank you for all of your insights and communication tools to help us with our efforts!! #PIDSASP19

Dr. Rama Hamdy presents 2017 antibiotic Rx data from Doctor on Demand, a national direct-to-patient video visit medical practice w/ 2 million patients per year. ~43K URI or bronchitis visits per year #PIDSASP19

[SIDP @SIDPharm]

Antibiotic Rx's for URI or bronchitis were higher in South and Northeast and were more strongly associated with provider geographic region than with patient region. #PIDSASP19

@Joshuawolf @weissman68 @helennewland Gift card for your hospital bill. 😉

And what’s the audience verdict on procalcitonin? Looks pretty close! Thanks to Dr. Chiotos and @JasonGNewland for a lively debate!! 🙌 #pidsasp19 @SIDPharm

.@weissman68 Q: what is the CDC’s stance on “finish the course” dogma? Hicks: have backed off that messaging. New messaging “consult w/ HCP if considering stopping abx” #PIDSASP19

[Diana Yu @dyupharmd]

Also, this is probably the population (age > 65 years) we should NOT be prescribing fluoroquinolones to (aortic aneurysms anyone?). #PIDSASP19

CAPT Hicks shares that state by state information about outpatient prescribing available at https://t.co/wdZsl3FaxT . How is your state doing? #PIDSASP19

[Diana Yu @dyupharmd]

CAPT Hicks tells us the story behind the goal of 50% reduction of inappropriate outpatient rx (it involves vacation and in-laws). #PIDSASP19 @PIDSociety @SIDPharm
