That’s a wrap on #IDWeek2025! Inspiring discussions on stewardship, diagnostics & quality. Proud of HMS data shaping safer UTI treatment, pneumonia eCQMs, smarter EMR tools & sepsis measures. Grateful to our members, partners & BCBSM for driving this work! #Sepsis #ABXStewardship

📣 Featured as an “Influential Publication in Health Care Epidemiology” at #IDWeek2025: 📝Study on awareness of peripheral IV catheters (AJIC 2024). Highlighting the need for better strategies to boost provider awareness of PIVs & ensure timely, appropriate care & removal. #HealthcareEpidemiology

🧠 When your work shapes discussion at #IDWeek2025:   HMS work by Gupta A et al. (BMJ Qual Saf 2023; JAMA IM 2024) was cited in a talk on pneumonia diagnostic uncertainty & empiric antibiotic use. Impact isn’t always on stage—sometimes it shapes how clinicians think.

📢 Wrapping up today's #IDWeek2025 highlights: For hospitalized patients with uncomplicated UTI, HMS data shows shorter antibiotic durations are just as safe. ✅ No difference in outcomes ⚠️ Longer courses = ↑ risk of adverse drug events Less is more. #ABXStewardship

📢 #IDWeek2025 feature by @valerievaughnmd.bsky.social: HMS data supported validation of 2 eCQMs for hospitalized patients with uncomplicated CAP These measures: ✅ Target abx duration & empiric selection ✅ Reliable, valid, Battelle-endorsed ✅ Under review for CMS MUC list #ABXStewardship

📊 Check out this HMS member poster presentation from Henry Ford Health at #IDWeek2025! EMR tools (ABX counter and stop date carryover) improved CAP antibiotic duration— <6-day regimens rose from 54%→74%, with no adverse impact on patient outcomes. Smarter tools = safer care. #ABXStewardship #QI

📅 Plan your Tuesday at #IDWeek2025! Check out these HMS member presentations on evidence-based antibiotic use and patient safety. 🎙️Proud to see our members leading national conversations on stewardship and outcomes. #ABXStewardship #IDWeek

Proud to see an HMS publication featured in #IDWeek2025: “Beyond Sep-1: What Is the Future of Federal Sepsis Quality Measures?” by Dr. Ray Dantes. 💡 Study finding: Combining in-hospital death + discharge to hospice closely aligns with 30-day mortality:

Join #HMS today at #ATS2025 session D102 to see our poster “Peri-Discharge Care Coordination after Sepsis Hospitalization”.

Update from #ATS2025 - #HMS data suggests that despite guidelines treating viral and bacterial sepsis the same, viral sepsis patients often receive less guideline-recommended care.

#HMS shared findings on timely antibiotic treatment in patients with sepsis induced hypotension at #ATS2025 Better recognition = faster treatment = improved outcomes.

#HMS shared findings from a study of 66 #HMS hospitals at #ATS2025 revealing that robust implementation of the CDCs 2023 Core Elements - especially goal-setting and performance tracking - has the potential to improve sepsis and patient outcomes.
