Successful Use of Telemedicine Infectious Diseases Consultation with an Antimicrobial Stewardship-Led Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia Care Bundle

Telemedicine (TM) programs can be implemented to deliver specialty care through virtual platforms and overcome geographic/resource constraints. Few data exist to describe outcomes associated with TM-based infectious diseases (ID) management. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes associated with TM and on-site standard of care (SOC) ID consultation after implementation of an antimicrobial stewardship (AMS)-led S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) bundle.
