Additional Information
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has proposed a new metric: Hospital Onset Bacteremia and Fungemia (HOB). BD surveyed 544 clinicians on their knowledge and preparedness for HOB, and how their practice may be impacted by this new metric. We will share the survey results, identify gaps, and discuss opportunities for HOB risk factor mitigation.
