Introducing ID Watch for IPs
Earlier this year, Healthcare Hygiene magazine partnered with noted infectious disease physician Ed Septimus, MD, FACP, FIDSA, FSHEA, to bring the ID Watch publication to a wider audience of infection preventionists, healthcare epidemiologists, infectious disease doctors and other healthcare stakeholders who need executive summaries of the key studies, guidelines and recommended practices impacting the infection prevention and patient safety sector.
Now, we've launched ID Watch for IPs, to bring the same high level of scientific rigor to interpretation of pertinent literature, but with a special focus on the studies that impact infection preventionists the most, with practical suggestions for applying this knowledge to daily practice.
