    Abstract Background: Histoplasmosis is a common cause of invasive fungal infection in endemic regions and accurate diagnosis is difficult without direct tissue culture or pathology. Indirect fungal antigen testing for various fungal pathogens are typically performed to assist with diagnostic workup, though cross-reaction can lead to difficulty in interpreting results. We aimed to compare indirect fungal diagnostic tests and evaluate prevalence of positive antigen testing for non-
    Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective review of adult patients with proven histoplasmosis diagnosed by fungal culture and/or cytology from January 2010 to March 2018. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and results of fungal antigen testing for
    Results: Fifty-seven of 182 (31.3%) patients reviewed had proven histoplasmosis and presented with acute pulmonary (n = 10), chronic pulmonary (n = 7), and disseminated (n = 40) disease. Forty-one (72%) of these patients were immunosuppressed. Urine
    Conclusions: Noninvasive fungal antigen assays are helpful diagnostic tools; however, given their low specificity, clinicians must be aware of the various clinical presentations of invasive fungal infections and be aware of the limitations of these tests.

    Abstract We investigated the impact of rapid diagnostic testing with and without algorithm-based stewardship recommendations on antibiotic use for bloodstream infection with coagulase-negative staphylococci. A significant reduction in antibiotic days of therapy was achieved in the stewardship intervention group that was not seen with rapid diagnostic testing alone.

    Abstract Background: Expanding antimicrobial stewardship to community hospitals is vital and now required by regulatory agencies. UPMC instituted the Centralized Health system Antimicrobial Stewardship Efforts (CHASE) Program to expand antimicrobial stewardship to all UPMC hospitals regardless of local resources. For hospitals with few local stewardship resources, we used a model integrating local non-Infectious Diseases (ID) trained pharmacists with centralized ID experts.
    Methods: Thirteen hospitals were included. Eleven were classified as robust (4) or nonrobust (7) depending on local stewardship resources and fulfillment of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention core elements of hospital antimicrobial stewardship. In addition to general stewardship oversight at all UPMC hospitals, the centralized team interacted regularly with nonrobust hospitals for individual patient reviews and local projects. We compared inpatient antimicrobial usage rates at nonrobust versus robust hospitals and at 2 UPMC academic medical centers.
    Results: The CHASE Program expanded in scope between 2018 and 2020. During this period, antimicrobial usage at these 13 hospitals decreased by 16% with a monthly change of -4.7 days of therapy (DOT)/1000 patient days (PD) (95% confidence interval [CI], -5.5 to -3.9;
    Conclusions: Coordinated antimicrobial stewardship can be implemented across a large and diverse health system. Our hybrid model incorporating a central team of experts with local community hospital pharmacists led to usage decreases over 3 years at a rate comparable to that seen in larger hospitals with more established stewardship programs.

    Abstract We compared outcomes at 3 community hospitals before and after switching from in-person to a Tele-ID group from an academic medical center. Compared to in-person, Tele-ID received significantly more consultations with similar outcomes for length of hospital stay, transfers, readmission, and mortality. Tele-ID is a suitable alternative for community settings.

    Abstract Background: Lack of on-site antimicrobial stewardship expertise is a barrier to establishing successful programs. Tele-antimicrobial stewardship programs (TASPs) utilizing a clinical decision support system (CDSS) can address these challenges.
    Methods: This interrupted time series study reports the impact of CDSS implementation (February 2020) within an existing TASP on antimicrobial usage in a community hospital. Segmented regression analysis was used to assess differences in antimicrobial usage from January 2018 through December 2021. Pre- and post-CDSS frequencies of intravenous vs oral antimicrobials, time to optimal therapy (TTOT), pharmacist efficiency (number of documented interventions per month), and percentage of hospitalized patients receiving antimicrobials were compared with descriptive statistics.
    Results: Implementation of a CDSS into an existing TASP was associated with an immediate 11% reduction in antimicrobial usage (level change,
    Conclusions: Implementation of a CDSS within an established TASP at a community hospital resulted in decreased antimicrobial usage, higher rates of oral usage, faster TTOT, and improved pharmacist efficiency.
