Infectious Disease and Infection Prevention

Every Monday at noon: the order set, the line, and the isolation decision touched every shift.

Infection is where critical care meets pharmacy, nursing, and infection prevention at the same bedside. Every Monday at 12:00 ET, ICCN publishes a focused brief on antimicrobial choice and duration, de-escalation, rapid diagnostics, multidrug-resistant organisms, and the device-related infections your unit is measured on.

A Note from the Founder

Why infection gets its own slot.

Nurses, pharmacists, and infection preventionists carry most of the daily work of preventing and treating ICU infection, and for years that work had no dedicated home in ICCN. Now it does: a weekly brief built around the decisions that happen on every shift.
