New from @JessieSeidelman et al Authors present an investigation and mitigation of a cluster of extra-pulmonary M. abscessus infections linked to heater-cooler device (HCD) contamination despite going above and beyond the manufacturer’s IFU 🔎 📄: doi.org/10.1017/ice.20…

Ever wondered how much HAIs cost our community hospitals? We took a look at the data and the price tag is 🤯🤯🤯

This review showed higher #CLABSI and #CAUTI rates in POC patients than in white patients despite similar device utilization between groups. See what the @DICON_duke and @DukeAdultID faculty had to say about their findings in @ICHEJournal

25 years ago, Dr. Dan Sexton started what would become DICON after a winding journey involving serendipity, detours, and opportunities. We are all so grateful for, and inspired by his work that continues to shape the field of ID. 💚 bit.ly/3HWFSdc


Check out what we’ve been up to!

📢 Hot off the press from @DICON_duke and @Deverick_A: Using optimized statistical process control (SPC) methods for SSI surveillance leads to improved detection of SSI rate increases and deficiencies in best practices for SSI prevention

So proud of you, @Sonali_Advani 💚

Excited to be elected as a fellow of @IDSAInfo - thanks to my wonderful mentors and sponsors! @DukeAdultID @DICON_duke @DCASIP_duke

This brief article from @DukeHealth Infection Prevention provides practical information structuring the case review process using readily available health system platforms. Using a structured approach for case reviews can help identify trends and opportunities for improvement.

First gathering of (almost all) of our IPs in two years (!!!) calls for rooftop drinks once the work is done (with Lynn’s hubby). Shoutout to @TheDurhamHotel for having the best roof in town!

This is a hard-working group 💚

@SarahLewisMD1, @IbukunMD, @JessicaSeidelm1, @Deverick_A, @rebsmoe, @beckyasmith79 share their work with @CDCgov Epicenters Program on the challenges in hospital-acquired COVID-19 surveillance and attribution of infection source in @ICHEJournal 📋

So happy to have @Sonali_Advani, @beckyasmith79, @JessieSeidelman, twitterless Nick Turner, @Deverick_A, @SarahLewisMD1 on our team!

Our @DICON_duke and @DukeAdultID colleagues have been working on the SIR and SUR for CAUTI in contrast to CLABSI, in addition to CAUTI definition challenges, incentivizing hospitals to focus prevention efforts on urine culture stewardship rather than catheter avoidance & care.
