In this webinar, Dr. James McKinnell, an infectious disease specialist at Harbor UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, discusses the critical decision-making processes of infectious disease physicians. He explores how clinicians approach critically ill patients, manage septic shock, and, most importantly, foster effective collaboration between infectious disease teams and the microbiology laboratory.
Dr. McKinnell highlights how technology and clinical insight work together to guide optimal treatment decisions, demonstrating how strong relationships between frontline clinicians and the laboratory can help improve patient outcomes. This session offers valuable perspectives on the intersection of clinical care and diagnostics in infectious disease management.
