Latest in @JAMA_current on antibiotic therapy in #sepsis
Interesting data showing unshocked patients with suspected infection could benefit from further time and monitoring, before initiating any antibiotic therapy
Exciting area of research with huge advances still to make
@STangGirdwood Q4 (cont'd) When considering sepsis screening mandates, MUST measure downstream effects of "false positives" in terms of impact on admissions, ICU xfer, antibiotic use, blood cultures obtained (contaminants!), fluids administered, etc.

Newborn falls in the hospital are rare, but still happen. Should be "never events." Nice 13-year description by @LoyalJasK from @YNHH in @AAPJournals https://t.co/4UzSwfkkSk
Thrilled to have PHM lab investigator @chris_bonafide featured in AAP Section on Hospital Medicine's Hospitalist Corner! @AAPNews @CHOP_CPCE https://t.co/OG4PeHSyUN
Why is is so damn hard to do good science? This extraordinary, thoughtful assessment brings in behavioral economics, repeating classic experiments but now in biomedicine, exposing biases https://t.co/VIBnDfrh5e

Gotta love papers like this one from @BostonChildrens EM group with a simple but important message: Trust negative chest x-rays. Their negative predictive value for pneumonia is 98.8%. https://t.co/39iQOmdJ5f
OK, OK, @naveenmuthu blew my cover, but yes, this is @chris_bonafide tweeting from the helm of @PHMlab, also a core investigator for the group. My work is focused on physiologic monitoring, deimplementation, and sometimes both. #EMOstudy
PCORI funded our Patient and Family Centered I-PASS Dissemination and Implementation Study! 18 PRIS sites will be rolling out the program over the next 3 years, and studying its effectiveness.
Another of our core investigators, @naveenmuthu is a hospitalist and expert in cognitive informatics, with a focus on the application of cognitive engineering methods to improve clinical decision support representations and augment medical decision-making - very cool stuff!
One of our core investigators, @StephDoupnikMD focuses on improving outcomes for children who have concurrent physical and mental health conditions, particularly during hospitalization. She recently received a K award from @NIMHgov to spend the next 5 years focused on this work!
Consider this a (very) soft launch of PHM lab at CHOP - a multi-investigator clinical research lab based in the Division of General Pediatrics focused on advancing pediatric hospital medicine!
