The BD symposium at ECCMID 2024
29th April 2024 │ 16:00-17:30 │ Hall M
Healthcare facilities and laboratories face several challenges in implementing innovation and new approaches for strategies to improve diagnostic pathways and ultimately deliver optimal care. The session will give an opportunity to hear real-life examples on how some of the common barriers faced nowadays by clinical microbiology laboratories have been approached and addressed to improve the diagnostic pathways, in cases of both critical infections and routine diagnostics, leveraging innovation and change management.
