INPATIENT: We also provide extensive inpatient hospital consultation services, with more than 16,000 inpatient visits annually. Primary areas of focus for these services include post-surgical wounds, hospital-acquired infections, bone and joint infections, device-related infections, recalcitrant wounds, sepsis, complex pneumonia, HIV, as well as undiagnosed fevers and infections associated with compromised hosts such as transplantation, chemotherapy, cystic fibrosis and burn injuries.
HIV CARE: We have been involved with HIV patient care and research since the disease was first recognized and have expertise in the unique area of HIV and hepatitis co-infection. We also have a comprehensive outpatient antibiotic management service which facilitates early hospital discharge and completion of antibiotic therapy in the home or assisted living centers.
COLLABORATIONS: We also work closely with primary care physicians throughout the region, providing advice, opinions and co-management services in these same complex areas of medicine.
