The field has roots in genomics, but it has expanded to encompass data-informed public health programs across various types of data or applications. The Precision Public Health Network hosted a 2023 conference focused on implementation science-the study of how to integrate PPH programs into practice. Some implementation needs that emerged across speakers included establishing robust evidence of clinical utility and feasibility, disseminating clinical best practices through guidelines and tools for providers, sharing tools or information to reduce duplicated efforts across settings, and considering context-specific factors. Considering feasibility, setting-specific factors, and meaningful engagement with relevant user groups throughout the research and implementation process are critical to the successful and sustainable implementation of PPH programs. The Network also hosted an interactive workshop to generate ideas and ongoing collaboration on essential outcomes or data measures for PPH programs, and strategies to center health equity in PPH.

The purpose of this report is to discuss key issues in the management of UTIs and identify gaps in current knowledge and guidelines, as well as future research needs.</p><p><strong>Design: </strong>A multidisciplinary panel of 13 experts from 6 European countries and the United States met on April 27, 2024. They discussed predefined key clinical questions, including classification of UTIs, current management guidelines, management of UTIs in men, antimicrobial switching, and post-treatment asymptomatic bacteriuria.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The panel agreed that differentiation between complicated and uncomplicated UTIs is crucial to antimicrobial selection and can impact outcomes. In particular, definitions of complicated UTIs (cUTIs) vary widely between guidelines and in the literature. Patients with cUTIs are not a homogeneous group and differences in risk factors and prognosis should be considered. However, a balance must be sought between appropriate antimicrobial treatment and complexity of guidelines, which can hinder their implementation, especially in primary care. Guidelines published by the European Urology Association and the Infectious Diseases Society of America differ in their antimicrobial treatment recommendations for cUTIs, which is important at a time of increasing antimicrobial resistance. In men with UTIs, it has been established that a longer duration of antimicrobial therapy is needed in cases where fever is present. De-escalation from broad- to narrow-spectrum antimicrobials is recommended wherever possible, and is associated with similar outcomes in many patients relative to remaining on broad-spectrum treatment. Post-treatment asymptomatic bacteriuria should not be assessed, and treatment is not recommended. Non-specialist physician education is crucial to achieving better outcomes for patients with UTIs.</p><p><strong>Implications: </strong>Many challenges remain in the management of UTIs in adults, most notably making an accurate classification, which drives antimicrobial treatment selection. A balance between adequacy of management guidelines and their uptake in routine clinical practice is needed to improve outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":9046,"journal":{"name":"BMC Proceedings","volume":"19 Suppl 16","pages":"18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12224355/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144552043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This widespread issue leads to hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths and hospitalizations annually, and billions of dollars in avoidable healthcare costs. No country is immune to this challenge. The a:care Congress 2024, titled \"Adherence is a Behavior: Do We Have the Right One?\", addressed this critical issue to understand its societal and economic burden and explore the complex human behaviors driving it. The Congress examined the global impact of non-adherence and local realities, providing a health economic perspective on its consequences. Behavioral factors influencing adherence were analyzed, emphasizing the importance of understanding individual patient motivations. The role of technology and artificial intelligence in the physician-patient relationship was discussed, highlighting opportunities and challenges of integrating these tools. The patient's voice was brought to the forefront, underscoring the importance of communication and trust in the care relationship. A final multidisciplinary session explored the role of each stakeholder in improving adherence. This article provides an overview of the different sessions from the congress, focusing on the challenges associated with medication non-adherence and potential solutions.

Candidates must understand the various components of an offer, such as start-up funds, teaching loads, research expectations, and tenure requirements, to negotiate terms that align with their needs and goals. However, navigating these negotiations can be daunting, particularly for individuals from historically underserved and excluded groups (HUE) in STEM fields who may lack access to supportive networks. In this article, we aim to provide a detailed guide on how to negotiate an effective tenure-track start-up package.
