New study finds peer comparison audit and feedback letters to primary care physicians significantly reduced overall antibiotic prescribing with no benefit of case-mix adjustment or harms messaging. Authors conclude that antibiotic prescribing audit and feedback is a scalable and effective intervention that should be a routine quality improvement initiative in primary care. https://lnkd.in/gKK6YEGx

We’ve combined Burden of Illness (#BOI) studies with Real World Evidence (#RWE) to provide a valuable perspective on the impact of a disease on patients, the healthcare system, and society.

 📢 We're excited to announce the updated publication of our clinical bulletin "Methamphetamine.”    At Precision Diagnostics, we believe in empowering healthcare professionals and patients with valuable insights. This clinical bulletin serves as a comprehensive resource, reviewing how Methamphetamine occurs as two isomers: dextro-methamphetamine (d) and levo-methamphetamine (l). Routine testing methods for methamphetamine do not have the ability to distinguish between the two isomers, but Precision offers further testing of urine methamphetamine positives to show the percentage of each isomer.    View the clinical bulletin here: https://lnkd.in/eYkpAdbD      #PrecisionDiagnostics #ClinicalBulletin #Methamphetamine #PatientSafety #HealthcareKnowledge

As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, the increasing resistance to treatment therapies remains at the forefront. To address this challenge, the practice of prescribing treatments, while aiming to combat a range of conditions, has often led to unintended consequences. Within this challenge, "Antifungal Stewardship" emphasizes the need for prudent prescription practices to prevent ineffective treatments, with implications reaching beyond individual patients to impact the broader healthcare system and costs. In the intricate dance between resistance, prescription choices, and patient outcomes, time plays a crucial role. Swift and accurate diagnoses are paramount, influencing the length of hospital stays and overall healthcare efficacy. It's in this context that the innovative solutions offered by AsperGenius® Resistance shine. AsperGenius®2.0 Resistance and DermaGenius® Resistance represent a commitment to overcoming challenges in the fight against antifungal resistance, improving antifungal stewardship and, consequently, enabling more effective treatments.
