Rapid Clinical Updates: Striving for Oral Stepdown: Novel Agents and Strategies for Avoiding OPAT

Beyond OPAT, picture discharges that move days sooner and lines left out entirely. In this evidence‑driven session, evaluate when to replace prolonged IV therapy with oral stepdown or long‑acting options, deploy practical algorithms, and apply rigorous patient‑ and drug‑selection criteria. We synthesize pivotal trials and real‑world pearls to avoid complications, reduce readmissions and costs, and accelerate safer, stewardship‑focused care.

Rapid Clinical Updates: High-Value Care in Practice: Appropriate Cardiac Biomarker Use for Hospitalists

Precision over overtesting: order hs‑troponin and BNP with confidence, apply the latest Universal Definition of MI, and implement ACC/AHA chest pain pathways that speed safe decisions. Screen for perioperative MINS and distinguish injury from plaque‑rupture MI and supply–demand mismatch using context, ECG, and serial deltas. Translate evidence into EMR nudges to reduce repeats and retire CK‑MB, elevating high‑value care for hospitalized patients.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Challenging Inpatient Scenarios in Atrial Fibrillation

As bedside alarms spike, do you have a ten‑minute plan for AF? In this rapid, case‑driven webinar you will recognize triggers, triage safely, and decide when to cardiovert vs rate control, then manage anticoagulation—balancing DOACs, PCI antithrombotics, and cardioversion timing. You’ll design high‑value discharges, reassess risk after sepsis or bleeding, and optimize outcomes for frailty and falls—and, when OAC isn’t feasible, evaluate LAAO—so you leave with faster, defensible choices.
