@SouthAfricanASP Criminal considering this already exists in most private hospitals and was technically solved nationally for ALL SA hospitals as part of our NDoH Covid contract - see https://t.co/UVEuV8bR0p Bluebird will even help fund national HAI surveillance.
After 30 years building EMRs for >70 hospitals, we built a unique phone-based AI Digital Registrar for specialists working in fragmented health systems. It solves the limitations in current clinical scribes.
Early results are extremely promising.
Would love feedback from @Jason
AI scribes may be a health-care game-changer! Ontario clinicians assessed the tool over 3 months as part of the OMD-led, first-ever provincial AI Scribe Study. Read the findings in the full #WIHV report: https://t.co/5XBnEocOQU #ECE#WIHV#OMD#AI#AIScribes#DigitalHealth

@CIDJournal I'm not sure how to use this information in a high TB prevalence area in Africa. Seems to me that one would want definitive evidence (culture or at least imaging) before Rx - what am I getting wrong?
In our ICHE paper we show that: 8% of CAUTIs become BSI/HOBs; for every 1 CAUTI, 3 non-CAUTI HOUTIs do the same. $9k vs $6k cost and 3 LOS extra vs controls. ASPs and IPCs need support @idpharmd@CIDRAP_ASP@EasyASP@rebsmoe@Payal_Patel@SIDPharm

A significant number of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) infections are community-acquired, which suggests that hvKp is circulating among healthy individuals! @idpharmd
@ConstantContact Trying after more than a decade to cancel my subscription to this unused service. Impossible from the website. I am in Cape Town and all phones lines tell me the office is closed (11:20 am Paris time). This should not be so hard! Are CC trying to lock me in?

This #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek, I am excited to be launching the second #TrinityChallenge, this time on #AMR.
This Challenge is a call to the world’s best and brightest minds, urging them to contribute data-driven innovations to protect the power of antibiotics.
Use of War Rhetoric to describe #AntimicrobialResistance misses the crucial point that we are symbionts with more bacteria in & on our bodies than we have human cells. They have critical functions - immunity, digestion etc. Killing them with unnecessary #antibiotics does us harm!
