We’re honored that our HMS manuscript in Clinical Infectious Diseases was highlighted as the most impactful antimicrobial stewardship paper at IDWeek 2026! Thank you to all HMS members who made this work possible. doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciaf344 #IDWeek2026 #AntimicrobialStewardship

New in @JournalGIM: An expert panel identified five high-priority, moderately resource-intensive practices to support recovery after sepsis—from scheduling follow-up to patient education and medication counseling. doi.org/10.1007/s11606-026-1… #Sepsis #PatientSafety

Come join me at HMS! We’re seeking an Assistant Program Manager to help lead quality improvement efforts that enhance patient care across Michigan. If you’re passionate about meaningful change and collaborating with a strong multidisciplinary team, we’d love to hear from you!

New in JAMA Network Open: Dr. Anna Conlon and colleagues examined antibiotic timing in community-onset sepsis among nearly 30,000 patients at 67 Michigan hospitals. Timely antibiotics was associated with lower 30-day mortality.

The Sepsis Alliance Summit is happening now, Sept. 16–17! Thank you, @SepsisAlliance, for bringing together experts, clinicians and advocates to advance sepsis care. Special thanks to Dr. Hallie Prescott for sharing insights on timely antibiotics and fluids. #SepsisSummit

New CDC data offer insights into how hospitals are advancing sepsis care. HMS was proud to partner with the CDC on this work, helping hospitals benchmark progress and identify opportunities to improve patient outcomes. cdc.gov/sepsis/hcp/core-elem… #Sepsis #PatientSafety

Grateful to CHEST for spotlighting the Michigan Hospital Medicine Safety Consortium in a podcast on Dr. Hallie Prescott’s study, “Association of Timely Antibiotics and Fluid Resuscitation With Increased Discharge to Home After Sepsis.” chestnet.org/guidelines-and-…

🌙 That's a wrap on the Summer HMS CWM. Thank you to every #hospital, presenter, & abstractor who joined us for a day of learning & collaboration. We're leaving inspired by the ideas exchanged & partnerships that make safer care possible for patients across #Michigan. 💙

🫁 @PaulBozykMD, one of the physician co-leads for the new HMS #CriticalCare Initiative, led today’s breakout session on #MechanicalVentilation - blending clinical education with practical examples to support understanding in abstraction.

📖 James Shen, PharmD, BCIDP, and Michael Barnes, MD, of @TrinityHealthMI Oakland shared their #AntimicrobialStewardship work in #ASB by reframing the problem and building better conversations about #antibiotic use and documentation. 💙

💊 Alicia Powell, RN, & Lauren Cianciolo, PharmD, of @Memorial_Owosso walked us through their work their work in #DiagnosticStewardship in #ASB. A reminder that #stewardship is built through partnership across the care team.

💻 Megan Cahill, DO, MBA of @HenryFordHealth shared the work behind their redesigned #sepsis screening alerts in the #EmergencyDepartment. A thoughtful reimagining of how the #EMR can better support clinicians in identifying & acting on sepsis.

Carly Redstone, MSN, RN of @umichmedicine walked us through her team's work refining #sepsis screening and response — a thoughtful, iterative approach shaped by staff feedback & collaboration with @UofMHealthWest and @UMHealthSparrow. 🤝

👏 And thank you to @McLarenHealth for showing how reimagining abstraction through a unified, system-wide model can strengthen #collaboration across hospitals. We appreciate you sharing the insights that made this transformation possible. 💙

👏 Thank you to @mymichhealth for showcasing how multidisciplinary #collaboration can drive meaningful improvements in #sepsis care. We appreciate your willingness to share your experience and help fellow HMS members learn from your journey.

💙 To our HMS data abstractors: thank you for your expertise, curiosity, and commitment to improving patient care. Your work strengthens this collaborative every day, and we're grateful for everything you do.

☀️Good morning from the HMS Collaborative Wide Meeting! We're excited to welcome #healthcare professionals from across Michigan for a day of learning, collaboration, and innovation to improve patient care. Let's get started! 🎉

Grateful to Claire Shappell & Chanu Rhee for their thoughtful JAMA Network Open commentary on our sepsis fluid resuscitation study. We also thank HMS Collaborative members for the rigorous data collection that made this work possible. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
