Today is the day! Stop by and learn how you can improve care for persons who use drugs with serious infections 💕@IntNSAGlobal #IntNSA2022 @OHSU_ID

@Gnfidz @OHSU_ID I am! I took the pic!

Amazing rapid fire! 🔥🔥🔥Stop by poster 1762 to talk to Alyse Douglass, OHSU OPAT RN about the OPTIONS-DC conference for PWUD #idweek2022 @OHSU_ID

Alyse Douglass and colleagues highlight patient-focused discharge plans for people with SUD. ⁦@ambicillin⁩ ⁦@OHSU_ID⁩

Really cool to hear our own @hollymicrobial present today at @OHSUSOM's Dept of Med #GrandRounds about research from her @CDCgov LEAP Fellowship year with the @OHAOregon on #COVID outbreaks in OR long-term care facilities. Great example of physician engagement in public health!

Cool example, also led by Dr. Varley, of basic research from an active clinical case & effective multi-institution collaboration! TcsL (lethal toxin) is a critical virulence factor for severity of illness due to Paeniclostridium sordellii infection. authors.elsevier.com/a/1eV%7EU3qfpm…

So proud of this review with @LaurenFontanaID @SikkaMon @TheEpiGal!

Today’s @IDWeek2020 tweet focuses on mentoring for non-physician trainees. Clinical mentorship is not limited to one specialty, and today we would like to highlight mentorship for #PhysicianAssistants #Pharmacists and clinical #researchers. #MedEd #IDTwitter #IDMedEd @IDSAInfo

Another plea for ⁦@CMSGov⁩ (Medicare) to cover home IV antibiotics. Requiring an individual to go to a SNF who could otherwise go home is madness and particularly dangerous at a time when long term care facilities are struggling with COVID-19. academic.oup.com/ofid/article/d…

As ID physicians on the front line of combating the current global crisis, we stand strongly against @POTUS's decision to leave @WHO. We will not succeed against this pandemic, or any future outbreak, unless we stand together, share information, and coordinate actions.

The plan for distributing #remdesivir should be transparent and based on state and regional #COVID19 case data and hospitalization rates. Our letter to @VP: bit.ly/3b4DRJu

The cost of waste in the US health care system is an estimated $760-$935 billion, ~25% of total health care spending. Projected savings from interventions to reduce waste is an estimated $191-$282 billion, a potential 25% reduction in total cost jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Washington DC, Day 1: there is a rat at this bar. That is all.

Win or lose at least the Toronto Raptors know they have healthcare.

@mmPharmD @Bryan_IDPharmD @bk_HILL @corevalues5 @BIDMChealth @BarnerIDpharmD @MGilchrist123 @eopat @KeenanLRyan I’m an OPAT pharmacist in Portland and I’m loving the Australia idea!

@Bryan_IDPharmD @bk_HILL @corevalues5 @BIDMChealth @BarnerIDpharmD @MGilchrist123 @eopat Agreed! My not-so-secret goal in the next 3-5 years is to get invited to present here cre-reduce.centre.uq.edu.au/event/723/opat… @KeenanLRyan @MGilchrist123 Can you imagine? Sorry boss .. work trip to AUS ...

I'm excited to share that after 9.5 years as the clinical pharmacy coordinator of infectious diseases at @BIDMChealth, I will be transitioning to a new chapter as an outpatient ID pharmacist in our HIV, hepC, and OPAT clinics in April.
