63 63 Impact of Coordinated Efforts Slayton RB, Toth D, Lee BY, et al. MMWR Aug 7; 64(30):

64 64 Sample Case A 72 year old man is sent back to his long-term care facility after a brief stay at an acute care hospital The transfer paperwork shows he is on intravenous vancomycin for bloodstream infection This is continued for 4 weeks, at which point the patient develops a brain bleed When his labs are checked he is found to have severely low platelets, presumably a side effect of the vancomycin The blood culture results had been incomplete at the acute care hospital at the time of transfer. As it turned out, when the organism was finally identified, it was one typically associated with blood culture contamination rather than infection, and the patient should not have received any antibiotics.

65 65 What could have been done differently? Improve communication and coordination Acute care hospital could have communicated to long-term care facility the plan re duration of antibiotics and the pending lab result A system could be in place for the hospital to follow up on the culture results of a patient no longer in their care and communicate with the long term care facility
