Infectious Disease Access and Antimicrobial Stewardship

Powered by ConsultBridge

Virtual ID specialists support antimicrobial stewardship, sepsis management, and complex infections — reducing unnecessary antibiotic use and strengthening patient safety.

ConsultBridge

Many facilities lack 24/7 infectious disease coverage, yet ID input is critical for stewardship, sepsis bundles, and complex infections including MRSA, HIV, and transplant-related cases. FabrixMed helps treating teams send structured consult requests and clinical context to the right specialist through ConsultBridge.

Why Infectious Disease Access Breaks Down


Infectious disease decisions often need specialist judgment, but that expertise is not always available where the patient presents.

  • Antibiotic overuse without ID oversight.
  • Sepsis protocols lack timely specialist input.
  • Complex infections default to transfer.
  • Stewardship programs lack remote ID capacity.

The missing layer is a structured way to ask the right question, send the right context, and document the next step.

ConsultBridge

ConsultBridge for Infectious Disease


Use ConsultBridge when a treating clinician needs provider-to-provider infectious disease input before deciding whether to manage locally, escalate, transfer, refer, or arrange follow-up. FabrixMed can support:

  • Antimicrobial stewardship support: Remote ID review of broad-spectrum regimens and de-escalation.
  • Sepsis & critical infection consults: Timely ID input for severe and unclear infections.
  • Complex infection management: Support for MRSA, osteomyelitis, HIV, and immunocompromised hosts.

Infectious Disease Workflow


1

Infection or stewardship trigger identified.

2

Microbiology, cultures, and regimen documented.

3

ID specialist reviews and recommends plan.

4

Local team adjusts therapy and monitoring.

5

Follow-up review for de-escalation or escalation.

What Teams Can Send or Capture


  • Primary clinical question.
  • Symptoms, duration, vitals, and risk factors.
  • Culture and sensitivity results.
  • Antibiotics already tried.
  • Medication allergies and renal function considerations.
  • OPAT or post-discharge monitoring needs.

Example Workflows


Hospital System Infectious Disease Question


The Hospital System team submits the clinical question, relevant context, and available records for Antimicrobial stewardship support. The specialist reviews the case through the configured FabrixMed workflow and returns recommendations or documented results for the local team to act on.

Emergency Department Infectious Disease Question


The Emergency Department team submits the clinical question, relevant context, and available records for Sepsis & critical infection consults. The specialist reviews the case through the configured FabrixMed workflow and returns recommendations or documented results for the local team to act on.

Microhospital Infectious Disease Question


The Microhospital team submits the clinical question, relevant context, and available records for Complex infection management. The specialist reviews the case through the configured FabrixMed workflow and returns recommendations or documented results for the local team to act on.

Value for Organizations


Deploy structured workflows that bring specialty judgment to the point of care — with documentation, triage rules, and metrics you can report on.

Reduce unnecessary antibiotic use: Stewardship-aligned ID review lowers cost and resistance risk.
Improve sepsis outcomes: Specialist input supports bundle adherence and appropriate escalation.
Manage complex cases locally: Avoid transfers when remote ID enables safe on-site management.

Value for Infectious Disease Provider Groups


FabrixMed routes consult and interpretation volume to independent groups that contract directly with facilities — without building your own platform stack.

Hospital ID consult programs.
Stewardship partnership opportunities.
Post-acute infection review volume.

Safety Boundary


FabrixMed supports routing, capture, documentation, specialist review, and care coordination for infectious disease. It does not replace emergency evaluation, bedside assessment, facility protocols, credentialing, prescribing responsibility, or the treating clinician's judgment.
