Since 2013, New Zealand’s regulatory agencies have had a statutory obligation to carry out stewardship. They been expected adopt whole-of-system, life cycle view of regulation, and take proactive collaborative approach the monitoring care system(s) for which they responsibilities. In 2021, after eight years, not managed operationalise their shared stewardship obligations in coherent consistent ...

Evidence-based guidelines for implementation and measurement of antibiotic stewardship interventions in inpatient populations including long-term care were prepared by a multidisciplinary expert panel of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America. The panel included clinicians and investigators representing internal medicine, emergency medi...

In a broad conceptual framing, cultural heritage is the result of humankind’s interactions with their environment and one another, both in its tangible intangible expressions. Cultural management by nature retrospective discipline, as assessment evaluation significance assets requires passage time. Practitioners often struggle very modern contemporary items.

Broad spectrum biosensors capable of identifying diverse organisms are transitioning from the realm of research into the clinic. These technologies simultaneously capture signals from a wide variety of biological entities using universal processes. Specific organisms are then identified through bioinformatic signature-matching processes. This is in contrast to currently accepted molecular diagn...
