Treating sepsis quickly with antibiotics is critical—but does the order in which they’re given make a difference? HPHCI’s researchers explored this question and found that giving β-lactams before vancomycin was associated with lower mortality in patients with sepsis. Study: tinyurl.com/3tv49ec8

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that affects over a million people in the U.S. Raising awareness is critical and can help save lives. At HPHCI, our researchers are working to advance how we treat and prevent sepsis. Join us this month as we share their work and its meaningful impact.

U.S. newborn screening is entering a new era, marked by the promise of genomic technologies and absence of a key national guidance committee. @mattmotta.bsky.social and I discuss recent events in the newborn screening policy space in a new JAMA Pediatrics Viewpoint. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

In 2024, Hurricane Helene triggered a nationwide shortage of IV fluids after hitting a facility that produced 60% of the country’s supply. It wasn’t the first time extreme weather disrupted the U.S drug supply.

Newborn screening (NBS) saves thousands of lives each year and new genetic advances could help detect even more conditions. But with the 2025 shutdown of the ACHDNC, states now face complex decisions without national guidance.

Looking forward to participating in this webinar to discuss our work on distributional cost-effectiveness analysis in genomic medicine, recently published in Value in Health www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
