Article Synopsis
- Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are serious and costly, and improving the speed of diagnosing them can lead to better patient care and lower costs.
- A study in a Chinese hospital analyzed changes in microbiology lab processes before and after optimization for hospitalized BSI patients, comparing turnaround times and clinical outcomes.
- Results showed a significant reduction in time to identification of pathogens, decreased hospital stays, and lower costs for antimicrobial treatments after the implementation of new diagnostic methods.
