Description

Abstract: Increasing antibiotic resistance and emerging infectious diseases continue to pose a major global threat. The field of clinical informatics is uniquely positioned to address some of the challenges in identification and prevention of infections, as well as to develop best practices in providing point-of-care interventions. This panel will consist of five clinical informaticians trained in infectious diseases, who will discuss novel informatics initiatives focused on healthcare acquired infections, antibiotic stewardship, and controlling the spread of global infectious diseases. The moderator will then lead an interactive panel discussion to determine gaps and future directions in the field and to get feedback from the informatics community on how best to address these serious public health issues.

Describe the new knowledge and additional skills the participant will gain after attending your presentation.: Participants will be better able identify informatics strategies to address the public health threat of antibiotic resistance and emerging infectious diseases.
Participants will be better able apply clinical decsion support to address antimicrobial resistance within the hospital.
