As director of ACDIS, I could not be prouder of the way our members and the CDI community as a whole have stepped up in the midst of the worst pandemic since the days of the Spanish flu. COVID-19 has overwhelmed emergency departments and ICUs, exposed flaws in our healthcare system, and most tragically killed thousands of people across the globe.
But CDI professionals are also responding with incredible flexibility and ingenuity, even selflessness and grace.
ACDIS’ COVID-19 CDI Survival Toolkit is a free resource for both members and non-members to learn about the signs, symptoms, and presentation of possible cases. Sources include information on:
Pediatric inflammatory mulit-system syndrome with coding scenarios
Physician tip sheet
Cytokine storms with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistocytosis
