The development of a customized web-technology for Electronic Health Record (EHR) is aimed to answer to the growing need for expert Remote Infectious Diseases Consultations (RIDC) in high-risk settings lacking of Infectious Diseases (ID) specialists and as a tool for the ID students. The outcome measures to evaluate efficacy and efficiency of the web-platform developed for this purposes are the satisfaction of specialists involved; number of RIDC performed compared to historical data; number of bedside consultancies needed for the insufficiency of web-based data; time spared in avoiding staff movement. In 12 months 18 simulation tests, 19 RIDC and 52 EHR access have been performed for patients admitted in the Cardiac Surgery Unit (L Sacco University Hospital, Milan-Italy). The mean time from the web-call and the RIDC was 2 hours (range 2 min-16 hours). The major limit of the system is the time for web-form filling for clinical case presentation. Several severe infectious diseases case management histories are already stored for ID students learning. After this first phase considerable structural adjustment are currently under revision.

The present study was designed to evaluate whether changing sample collection devices increased micro-organism detection in patients undergoing NPWT. During 2013-2014, 207 samples were collected and cultured from NPWT patients (n = 23) to demonstrate the presence of DSWI using reticulated polyurethane sponge culture, a swab, and blood culture. In 2015, a new collection device was introduced for specimen collection. A total of 357 samples (n = 17) were collected using the ESwab(™) (Copan, Murrieta, CA) for deep and superficial wound sample collection. In addition, blood culture devices were used for collecting mediastinal fluid aspirated directly from the wound and biologic fluid obtained from the NPWT device. Fisher exact test was performed to test the rate of independence rate of micro-organis...
