Clinical Trial Summary

In July 2020, a bundle (Appendix C) was implemented at Methodist Dallas Medical Center where all patients with SAB were reviewed by the antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist (Monday - Friday from 0700 to 1500), a note outlining optimal interventions was written in the electronic medical record (EMR), and the recommendations were communicated to the primary team via secure messaging or telephone

Description:

Evaluation of the Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection(SAB)bundle recommendations will allow for determination of whether this intervention is impactful and warrants the resources currently devoted to it.
