"Hospital Onset Bacteremia: Are we ready?"

The Centers of Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) has proposed a new metric named Hospital Onset Bacteremia (HOB). BD surveyed 544 clinicians on their knowledge of HOB and how their practice may be impacted by this new metric. We will share the survey results, identify gaps and opportunities for HOB prevention, identification and treatment at your facility.

  • Define Hospital Onset Bacteremia
  • Discuss the scope of the issue
  • Understand the current sentiment
