Couldn’t agree more! The criteria also fail to keep up with emerging molecular diagnostics, leading to unfair penalties!

Couldn’t ask for a better way to close out my trainee years than highlighting our work at #SHEASpring2025 — from idea generation to funding, to grabbing wastewater and running tests. Learned epi, IPC, comms, and more! Thanks to @jlsalinas.bsky.social for being the best mentor I could ask for!

Facing the blood culture shortage, we implemented an order alert and restricted repeat cultures within 72 hours to high-yield indications. Spearheaded by our incredible micro lab and supported by our 2-year stewardship initiative, details here:

Up to 79% of providers order blood cultures without evaluating the patient first—lots of room to improve! Honored to collaborate on this national study, led by Johns Hopkins, exploring blood culture practices across 8 US academic institutions.

🆕 LLM for IP&C Inquiries:

Authors investigated four LLM AI tools’ accuracy. Most provided acceptable answers to IP&C questions. Their use to supplement IP&C consults should be further explored.

LLMs won’t take our jobs, but learning to work with them is the future. And no, not all LLMs are made equal! In this great collaboration, we tested LLMs for helping infection preventionists—GPT-4 outshined GPT-3.5, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenEvidence @jlsalinas.bsky.social

The readability of scientific articles went down over time.

Should we thank "sounding important for the journal" for this trend?

Or deeper niche-specialization?

Honored to be part of the Stanford Health Care team recognized with the Malinda Mitchell Award for Quality. Through collaboration, including blood culture stewardship I led with great support from @jlsalinas.bsky.social and others, we made a real impact on reducing CLABSI. Proud of our team’s work!
