Enhanced, Personalized and Integrated Care for Infection Management at the Point-Of-Care
In Brief
An observational study evaluating EPIC IMPOC for Antibiotic Resistant Infection and Infection. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Antimicrobials (drugs that kill or stop the growth of microorganisms including bacteria, thereby treating infections) commonly used to treat patients with infections are becoming less effective over time as bacteria develop resistance to them. Antimicrobial usage itself can lead to development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial resistance is now a major threat to patient safety. To conserve the effectiveness of antimicrobials the investigator need to develop ways to use them more sensibly healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat infections must be able to access antimicrobial guidelines and test results at the patient bedside. This needs to be provided rapidly and with support to make sure that the decisions on prescribing antimicrobials are the best that can be made.
