Description
Outbreaks of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria among hospitalized patients have elicited national attention and underscored the danger of healthcare-associated infections. When patients visit more than one hospital, a multi-drug-resistant organism (MDRO) may spread. Organisms spreading within hospitals is also a risk. Dr. Rosenman is leading the effort to build a regional system that makes laboratory microbiology culture data usable for decision support and alerts hospitals when a patient with a history of MDRO is admitted. He and his team cull microbiology data from Health Level Seven version 2 (HL7v2) messages that hospitals send to a health information exchange. In his talk on June 12th, he will discuss the development, testing and implementation of this system, as well as its early results, challenges and future opportunities.
