Tomorrow, Learn How Antimicrobial Resistance Impacts Cancer Care

New panelist just added Join us tomorrow, April 9, 2024, at 10 a.m. EDT for CDC’s AMR Exchange, Impacts of Antimicrobial Resistance on Cancer Care. Cancer care experts – including the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Assistant Director for Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance and Integrated Health Innovation – will discuss how antimicrobial resistance impacts cancer care. Join us to learn more about: How antimicrobial resistance can be a major obstacle for cancer care and cancer survival. The importance of infection prevention and control efforts in health care to limit cancer patient exposure to antimicrobial-resistant germs. The connection between the health of the microbiome (the naturally occurring germs on and in our bodies) and the effectiveness of some cancer therapies. How U.S. and international organizations are strengthening infection prevention efforts and fighting antimicrobial resistance as core components of cancer care. Meet our speakers:

Join us Tuesday, April 9, 2024, at 10 a.m. EDT for CDC’s AMR Exchange, Impacts of Antimicrobial Resistance on Cancer Care. Antimicrobial resistance can be a major obstacle for cancer care and cancer survival. People receiving cancer treatment are at higher risk for infections and the growing global public health threat of antimicrobial resistance can make infections harder – if not impossible – to treat.

CDC:Clinicians & Antibiotic Stewards: Reduce Health Inequities

UC San Diego’s Jacinda C. Abdul-Mutakabbir, PharmD, MPH and CDC’s Lauri Hicks, DO, FACP discuss ways to advance health equity in health care.

Everyone has a role to play in improving equity, whether you are providing clinical care or leading infection prevention and control, antimicrobial stewardship implementation, or an entire healthcare organization.

CDC:Join us in Celebrating Patient Safety Awareness Week – March 10-16

 

Join us in Celebrating Patient Safety Awareness Week – March 10-16

This week, March 10-16, CDC celebrates Patient Safety Awareness Week, recognizing that safe and quality health care is a team effort. Together we can reduce healthcare-associated infections, adverse events, and medical errors to keep patients safe. Share these resources for healthcare workers and patients to help continue our progress on patient safety.

How can I protect myself and my patients? Infection prevention and control measures are necessary for a strong healthcare system that protects the safety of healthcare workers and patients. Use Free Training Resources. Project Firstline recognizes the learning preferences and time constraints of a diverse and busy workforce. To understand and confidently apply these infection control measures, innovative and accessible infection control education and trainings are available in a variety of formats for healthcare workers. Increase Knowledge. Consider leading a quick refresher course on infection control using Project Firstline’s “micro-learns.”  Recognize Risks. If you learn to spot the opportunities for germs to spread, then you can step in to stop them and prevent infections. How can I be a safe patient? Speak up. Talk to your healthcare provider about any questions or worries. Ask what they’re doing to protect you from infections. Keep hands clean. Make sure everyone, including friends and family, cleans their hands before touching you. If you don’t see your healthcare providers clean their hands, ask them to do so. Be antibiotics aware. Antibiotics do not treat respiratory viruses that cause infections such as flu, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Talk to a healthcare professional about the best way to feel better while your body fights off the virus. If you’re prescribed an antibiotic, take it exactly as prescribed, and do not skip doses. Watch out for deadly diarrhea (also known as, “C. diff”). Talk with your healthcare professional about your risk for developing C.diff, as most cases develop while you’re taking antibiotics or not long after you’ve finished. Staying in a nursing home or assisted living facility? As a resident, you may be at increased risk for infections. Learn more about ways to stay safe. Act fast if you suspect sepsis. Infections can put you or your loved ones at risk for a life-threatening condition called sepsis. Anyone can get an infection, and almost any infection can lead to sepsis. Learn how you and your loved ones can take specific steps to reduce your risk of sepsis and ACT FAST if you suspect it.

This message includes updates on respiratory viruses from CDC.



CDC Updates and Simplifies Respiratory Virus Recommendations


Last week, CDC released updated recommendations for how people can protect themselves and their communities from respiratory viruses, including COVID-19. The new guidance brings a unified approach to addressing risks from a range of common respiratory viral illnesses, such as COVID-19, flu, and RSV, which can cause significant health impacts and strain on hospitals and health care workers. CDC is making updates to the recommendations now because the United States is seeing far fewer hospitalizations and deaths associated with COVID-19 and because we have more tools than ever to combat flu, COVID-19, and RSV. As part of the guidance, CDC provides active recommendations on core prevention steps and strategies and additional considerations for people who are at higher risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses, including older adults, young children, people with compromised immune systems, people with disabilities, and pregnant people.

Vaccine Effectiveness of Updated 2023–2024 COVID-19 Vaccines

A new CDC report finds that the updated (2023-2024) COVID-19 vaccines cut the risk in half for visiting the emergency department, urgent care, or being hospitalized with COVID-19 for most people. Everyone 6 months and older should get an updated COVID-19 vaccine, especially people 65 years or older and people with medical conditions that make them more likely to get very sick with COVID-19, such as weakened immune systems. Learn more about how to stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines: Stay Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines

CDC:Updated Map Shows CDC’s Investments to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance

 

Updated Map Shows CDC’s Investments to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Explore efforts happening in your state or country

Today, CDC released the updated Antimicrobial Resistance (AR) Investment Map, highlighting CDC’s AR funding to global and domestic partners—from academic centers to local public health departments. These partners work alongside CDC to implement innovative solutions to slow the spread of AR, improve infection prevention and control (IPC), and protect people. CDC’s investments have strengthened U.S. and global capacities to rapidly detect, respond to, and contain known and emerging AR threats.

Each year, more than 3 million people in the U.S. get an antimicrobial-resistant infection or Clostridioides difficile infection (often associated with taking antibiotics). In fiscal year 2023, CDC invested more than $155 million of annual funding to support health departments and partners in the United States and abroad to combat and prevent antimicrobial-resistant infections. CDC also invested more than $265 million from temporary supplemental funding to fight a range of infections that threaten the nation’s health, including those caused by antimicrobial-resistant organisms, COVID-19, and other known and emerging infectious diseases.  CDC leads the U.S. public health response to combat AR, a threat that continues to emerge and spread across the world. CDC’s AR Solutions Initiative invests in national infrastructure to detect, respond to, contain, and prevent resistant infections across healthcare settings, communities, the food supply, and the environment (water, soil). With sustained resources, CDC will continue to support its domestic and global AR programs to respond to whatever threat comes next.  Highlights of this year’s AR Investment Map release include:  An interactive map showcasing CDC’s AR funding to support activities in every U.S. state health department and across nearly 100 public health partners.  An updated fact sheet featuring CDC’s global investments with partners in more than 60 countries to improve detection, prevention, and response to AR threats internationally.  An updated fact sheet showing how CDC’s one-time supplemental funding supports investments in IPC; training and capacity building, such as Project Firstline; surveillance; and public health personnel.  New features to improve accessibility for all users. These updates include the ability to enable accessibility features through a toggle at the top of the screen; view all fact sheet content in HTML and PDF format; and use interactive page elements like unique links and buttons to improve website navigation.
