About the Webinar

Defeating Superbugs: Hospitals on the Front Lines

Hospitals across the country are facing a grim reality in which some of the most deadly healthcare-associated infections they encounter are untreatable with first- or even second-line antibiotics. These “superbugs” affect at least 2 million Americans each year and lead to 23,000 deaths. And their threat is growing, public health officials warn. This editorial webinar and “Defeating Superbugs” white paper will explore the steps providers must take to ramp up surveillance efforts, promote appropriate antibiotic use and control outbreaks. Our panel of experts will share their organizations' experiences as well as proven strategies for success.

Registration for this webinar includes Modern Healthcare's “Defeating Superbugs” white paper, with proven tips and strategies for promoting appropriate antibiotic use, improving infection surveillance, identifying drug-resistant infections and dealing with outbreaks.

Key takeaways:

  • Best practices for effective antimicrobial stewardship

  • Real-world examples of effective interventions, including universal rapid testing for drug-resistant MRSA

  • Tips for engaging senior leadership

  • Aggressive strategies for controlling outbreaks
