Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates with an incidence disproportionately higher in vulnerable populations. Management according to evidence-based care parameters, in particular Infectious Diseases (ID) consultation, is associated with improved mortality. SAB management is suboptimal in Alberta compared to other jurisdictions. An Alberta-based pilot study confirmed that timely recommendations to optimize SAB care, including ID consultation, was associated with improved adherence to all evidence-based quality-of-care indicators.

Leveraging this pilot work, the investigators aim to implement OPTIMUS-SAB, an enhanced model of the pilot, to optimize and standardize SAB management across Alberta. The implementation study will be a zone-based acute care site stepped wedge design. OPTIMUS-SAB will consist of a centralized SAB care team whom will receive automated notification of all blood cultures positive for S. aureus allowing them to review the patient's medical chart and make preliminary management recommendations according to an evidence-based care bundle.

The investigators will evaluate adherence to evidence-based SAB quality-of-care indicators before and after OPTIMUS-SAB implementation and expect this to improve with a resultant reduction in duration of bacteremia, length of stay, readmission rates, and mortality. In turn, this will translate into cost savings for the health care system.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

OPTIMUS-SAB care pathway

Province-wide real time automated notifications of new SAB cases will be established and delivered to a centralized SAB care team electronically through Connect Care. The centralized SAB care team consists of a SAB clinical coordinator, ID specialists and other ad hoc representation depending on patient needs. Following patient chart review, the centralized SAB care team contacts the most responsible physician (MRP) to provide preliminary recommendations to optimize care, both verbally and in written format, facilitated by Connect Care (Alberta Health Services electronic medical record).
