296. Outcomes From a Novel Transition-of-Care OPAT Service Targeting Orthopedic Device-Related Infections

摘要

BackgroundIn 2015, a transition-of-care outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy service (TOC-OPAT) was established at the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, NY for patients requiring long-term antibiotics. Utilizing an OPAT bundle with direct communication between specialists, significant reductions in 30-day readmissions were observed. Montefiore is a regional referral center for orthopedic device-related infections (ODRIs). Here, we evaluate outcomes in TOC-OPAT patients with ORDIs. We hypothesize that a majority achieve infection cure within 6-months.
