On 1/17/2024 at 4:46 PM, V3, Infection Control Specialist, stated, Sometimes the PA (Physician Assistant) will start the antibiotics before the Culture and Sensitivity comes back but they do a good job of following up with them and making sure they are the correct antibiotics once the culture has been returned. When the physician sees the C & S it shows up on their screen the exact name of the medications and if they are resistant or have sensitivity. I myself, when I get the report there is only one or two letters for the drugs. I have a sheet from the pharmacy documenting what drug is what.
