During this webinar, we will provide an overview of the current landscape of sepsis management and the impact of rapid culture-independent diagnostics on healthcare systems. We will present the best practices for implementing T2 sepsis panels based on first-hand experience at the University of Louisville Hospital. We will also review how implementing T2 sepsis panels can impact laboratory workflow and patient outcomes. Speakers will discuss “Choosing Wisely”, a framework encompassing diagnostic stewardship to drive practice changes that will improve the quality of care for patients suspected of sepsis, while also optimizing healthcare resources.
Learning Objectives
- Compare culture-independent testing versus current diagnostic methods and the implications on healthcare outcomes, antimicrobial stewardship.
- Review a successful experience of implementing T2 Biosystems' diagnostics in the hospital laboratory and the positive impact on operational and clinical outcomes.
- Outline how utilizing the “Choosing Wisely” framework tool can better match diagnostics with specific patient needs and populations for more effective care. Examine the clinical indicators that predict a high value outcome by ordering T2 Biosystems Panels and how to implement changes to your practice.
