September is Sepsis Awareness Month and CDC encourages its partners, patients, and healthcare professionals to share how sepsis can be prevented. Get Ahead of Sepsis is a national educational effort that emphasizes the importance of early recognition, timely treatment, reassessment of antibiotic needs, and prevention of infections.
CDC's new report, COVID-19: U.S. Impact on Antimicrobial Resistance, Special Report 2022 concludes that the threat of AR infections is not only still present but has gotten worse in the U.S.
NACCHO, in partnership with the CDC, has compiled resources to enhance the capacity of local health department staff to address unique needs in a range of high-risk facility types.
This year's theme for World Hand Hygiene Day on May 5 is focused on recognizing that we can add to a facility's climate or culture of safety and quality through cleaning our hands but also that a strong quality and safety culture will encourage people to clean hands at the right times and with the right products.
NACCHO will award up to $60,000 for a consultant, or consulting firm, to assist NACCHO with conducting a workforce assessment to evaluate LHD staff capacity related to healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and antimicrobial resistance (AR). The selected consultant will create assessment tools, conduct data collection and analysis, and develop a final report with results.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is soliciting comments from the public on antimicrobial drug use practices in companion animals and the potential impacts of such uses on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in both humans and animals.
The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology Association (SHEA), and the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS) are pleased to announce the Leaders in Epidemiology, Antimicrobial Stewardship and Public Health (LEAP) Fellowship Award for the 2022–2023 academic year.
