Summary
Brief summary
This national Australian study will validate and implement an effective approach to real-time electronic surveillance of fungal infections in patients with blood cancers using technology based on artificial intelligence. It will establish metrics for antifungal stewardship allowing benchmarking of these programs; provide decision support for radiologist interpretation of chest imaging and improve reporting, audit and feedback practices in hospitals where these infections are managed.
