blood culture

What a wonderful, convenient, effective instrument which is easy to use. We had our support services load and the techs attending to the positive blood cultures. It's low maintenance and something that doesn't require much attention. For our patient population in our community, I think this is one of the best moves we have made!

Right-sizing the clinical microbiology lab: How centralized and decentralized models drive stewardship, efficiency, and outcomes

Tuesday, June 2, at 13:00 EDT | 10:00 PDT

Bloodstream infections demand fast, accurate results – but many laboratories face increasing operational and financial constraints. As expectations for turnaround time, stewardship, and quality rise, labs must decide how to deliver better answers without adding complexity or cost.

Join this expert‑led webinar to explore how different blood culture testing models can succeed in today’s healthcare environment.

Learn From Two Proven, Real‑World Approaches

In this SelectScience® webinar, hosted in partnership with bioMérieux, two clinical microbiology leaders – Dr. Stella Antonara, PhD, D(ABMM) and Dr. J. Kristie Johnson, PhD, D(ABMM) – share their firsthand experiences implementing centralized and decentralized blood culture testing models.

Rather than promoting a one‑size‑fits‑all solution, this session offers a balanced, evidence‑based discussion that reflects the realities of modern laboratory operations. Through real‑world examples, the speakers examine how thoughtful workflow design, and right‑sized instrumentation can:

  • Strengthen antimicrobial stewardship efforts
  • Improve operational efficiency and resource utilization
  • Support better, faster clinical decision‑making
