SummaryThis module addresses how environmental sustainability interfaces with high value care by looking at the high value equation wherein outcomes and patient experience are measured in the context of financial costs to the system and the patients. This module further attempts to help clinicians feel more connected to the environmental impact of their work.

SummaryIn this module, we will explore the ways in which climate change impacts the health, well-being, and health equity of children and adolescents. Part of that exploration will analyze how unique pediatric physiology can increase a child's vulnerability to the direct and indirect environmental effects of climate change. Throughout the session, real-world examples will highlight how climate change exacerbates health inequities and environmental injustices by disproportionately impacting vulnerable and marginalized communities.

This session is presented by Jose Mercado, MD and Reinaldo Perez, MD. Our moderator is Joseph Sweigart, MD, FHM, SFHM.
Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy (OPAT) has served a key role in the treatment of severe and difficult to treat infections such osteomyelitis and bacteremia. However, use of prolonged antibiotic therapy can be associated with line related complications, prolonged hospitalization, and logistical challenges for follow up. This session seeks to review the latest data on long acting infusion based antibiotics and oral therapies with high oral bioavailability that can safely serve as alternatives to intravenous treatment.

Series SummaryClimate health is an emerging and rapidly evolving field of medicine with which hospitalists need to be familiar. Clinicians are often unaware of the impacts of environmental factors on patients’ health and do not feel comfortable counseling on the subject or educating students, residents, and colleagues. They should recognize the ecological determinants of health as impacting patient care directly and indirectly and have the tools to affect healthcare sustainability practice and understand the applicability of sustainable quality improvement tools.
