Patient Care & Clinical Services
Our infectious disease specialists provide consult services to patients. Clinical services are provided at both inpatient and outpatient settings.
IDS faculty physicians pursue a team approach to providing exceptional patient care, working closely with hematologists and oncologists on individual treatment plans for patients. Our researcher physicians also oversee critical quality-improvement initiatives related to infectious diseases, including the development of standard practice guidelines and other clinical care guidelines in infection control and antibiotics management.
Our Patient Services Include:
- Partnering with hematologists and oncologists on treatment plans
- Overseeing quality exercises related to infectious diseases
- Developing standard practices and guidelines in infection prevention and control
- Conducting pre-transplant evaluations
- Managing patient follow-up visits, including antibiotics management
- Creating long-term follow-up plans
Patient appointments are limited to current patients and require a referral from your Fred Hutch primary provider.
Our faculty work at the interface of patient care and scientific discovery.
In partnership with the patient and a multidisciplinary team, our clinicians strive to provide the highest quality care. As leaders of clinical research and trials, IDS faculty advance scientific knowledge to improve treatment and prevention of the infectious diseases that afflict our patients.
