Expanding Your Influence to Improve Antibiotic Use in Outpatient Settings
Expanding Your Influence to Improve Antibiotic Use in Outpatient Settings
Date: Wednesday, Oct. 16 | Time: 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. PT
Inappropriate antibiotic use in outpatient settings is a considerable public health problem. Antibiotic stewardship teams are increasingly being asked to develop and implement stewardship programs for their medical center or health system’s outpatient clinics. The approaches to outpatient stewardship need to be tailored to these settings, including data gathering, interventions, behavioral modifications, and education, and meet the added challenges of changes to outpatient healthcare delivery. The primary objective of this didactic and active learning workshop is to give attendees effective tools that can be used to expand the world of stewardship into the outpatient arena.

Pus, Slough and Drainage: Oh My! Hands-On Introduction to Wound Care for the ID Clinician
Date: Wednesday, Oct. 16 | Time: 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. PT
This workshop is an introduction to wound care for the infectious diseases’ clinician. We will discuss the diagnosis, workup, and management of typical wounds encountered in practice, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, decubiti, and a special section on unusual wounds such as pyoderma gangrenosum and calciphylaxis. The participant will have a chance to “put it all together” with our interactive cases. We will also answer questions about how to incorporate wound care into your practice. Toward the end, we will have hands-on demonstrations of off-loading devices, compression devices, dressings, simulated wound debridement, and negative pressure wound therapy.
