    AbstractThe goal of this longitudinal study is to examine the evolution of the perceptions, namely anxiety, ease of use, usefulness, misfit (not customization), trust and usefulness, related to an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for the clinical staff in a French Teaching hospital. Two surveys were conducted first in September 2013 and second in December 2015, based on a questionnaire consisting of items on the Likert scale. As results, the correlation of all the variables between the two surveys is very significant (except for usefulness, for which the relationship is significant). This is not surprising, given previous studied focused on habits and learning related to technology adoption. Nevertheless, the increase is not spectacular and it makes necessary to evaluate EMR satisfaction and perceptions in order to elaborate a measure standard enabling comparisons and benchmarking among hospitals

    Abstract In Enterobacterales, the most common carbapenemases are Ambler’s class A (KPC-like), class B (NDM-, VIM- or IMP-like) or class D (OXA-48-like) enzymes. This study describes the characterization of twenty-four OXA-23 or OXA-58 producing- Proteus mirabilis isolates recovered from human and veterinary samples from France and Belgium. Twenty-two P. mirabilis isolates producing either OXA-23 (n = 21) or OXA-58 (n = 1), collected between 2013 and 2018, as well as 2 reference strains isolated in 1996 and 2015 were fully sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that 22 of the 24 isolates, including the isolate from 1996, belonged to a single lineage that has disseminated in humans and animals over a long period of time. The bla OXA-23 gene was located on the chromosome and was part of a composite transposon, Tn 6703 , bracketed by two copies of IS 15∆II . Sequencing using Pacbio long read technology of OXA-23-producing P. mirabilis VAC allowed the assembly of a 55.5-kb structure encompassing the bla OXA-23 gene in that isolate. By contrast to the bla OXA-23 genes, the bla OXA-58 gene of P. mirabilis CNR20130297 was identified on a 6-kb plasmid. The acquisition of the bla OXA-58 gene on this plasmid involved XerC-XerD recombinases. Our results suggest that a major clone of OXA-23-producing P. mirabilis is circulating in France and Belgium since 1996

    To describe the usefulness of electronic medical records (EMRs) and a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system to support and assess an antimicrobial stewardship programme (ASP). At the study hospital, infectious diseases specialists supervise antimicrobial prescription when solicited by physicians in charge of patients. From January to October 2015, treatment days of antibiotic prescription, supervised or unsupervised by infectious disease specialists (SAP or UAP, respectively) in all wards, except intensive care units emergency department, bone marrow transplantation units, and paediatric units, were calculated. Embedding recommendations on carbapenem indications as a checklist into the CPOE system, a self-administered ASP was implemented in 2017. EMRs were reviewed to determine global compliance with carbapenem prescription guidelines (combining introduction of therapy and 72-h assessment) before and after implementation of a self-administered ASP in departments with a low SAP rate for these antibiotics. Among 16 090 prescriptions extracted, 19.9% were SAPs. Three patterns of prescription were identified. The first pattern (amoxicillin-clavulanate, ceftriaxone) was characterized by a high UAP rate in every department, the second pattern (cloxacillin, rifampin) was characterized by a high SAP rate in every department, and the third pattern (broad-spectrum beta-lactams) was characterized by heterogeneous distribution of SAP/UAP among departments. Carbapenem prescription was reviewed in five departments with a low SAP rate for carbapenems over 6 months: 94 before and 107 after implementation of the self-administered ASP. Global compliance with guidelines increased significantly from 22% to 37% (risk difference 15%, 95% confidence interval 2.3-28.5%; P=0.02). A clinical information system may help to rationalize antibiotic stewardship in a context of scarce medical resources. Mapping of antibiotic prescriptions and self-supervision are efficient, complementary and easy-to-implement tools
