"Our mission remains driven by two goals:
to improve patient safety and enhance quality of care."
Dr. Deverick Anderson worked with a team from several other faclities to review the policies and practices of SHEA research network hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic for an article published in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology.
Dr. Emily M. Eichenberger et al have published a case report in Case Reports in Infectious Diseases.
Clinical Research Coordinator, Bobby Warren, worked with Drs. Becky Smith, Dev Anderson, and Nick Turner and staff from Duke Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Environmental Physiology and NC School of Science and Mathematics to measure the efficacy of UV-C disinfection in hyperbaric chanbers in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology.
We are delighted to welcome Connor Deri, PharmD to ASET! Dr. Deri will be the joining the team in August to support antimicrobial stewardship at Duke University Hospital.
Antimicrobial resistance is a major challenge for modern healthcare. The Duke Center for Antimicrobial Stewardship and Infection Prevention includes a unique portfolio of programs to fight this growing problem. We at CDC look forward to continuing our collaborations with Duke to help protect patients.
Dr Anderson and colleagues in the Duke Center for Antimicrobial Stewardship and Infection Prevention are world leaders in the important and essential fight to prevent infections and antimicrobial resistance. They are truly providing the 'guiding lights' and leadership for all to follow in this mission.
The Duke Center for Antimicrobial Stewardship and Infection Prevention is an important source for education and programmatic support for hospitals in the Southeastern US. In addition, their research on the epidemiology of multidrug-resistant pathogens and enhancing antibiotic stewardship is of high quality and public health value. I look forward to collaborating with Dr. Anderson and his expert colleagues for years to come.
