    This review showed higher #CLABSI and #CAUTI rates in POC patients than in white patients despite similar device utilization between groups. See what the @DICON_duke and @DukeAdultID faculty had to say about their findings in @ICHEJournal.

    IP pros, if you needed a reminder that what you do makes a huge difference: a recent @CDCgov report showed that patients were 16% less likely to have an HAI in 2015 than they were in 2011. Read more here: bit.ly/2Jm8fmi From your patients and colleagues: thank you!
