Abstract
Rapid blood culture identification is most effective with antimicrobial stewardship feedback, which is limited during non-business hours. We implemented overnight review of Blood Culture Identification 2 panel results by intensive care unit pharmacists and demonstrated reduced time to evaluation (3.6 vs 9.3 hours, P < .01).Keywords
