N2 - Although multidisciplinary teams have been shown to decrease in-hospital mortality for patient with infectious endocarditis, most studies have focused on the inpatient role of these teams, and are primarily based at European tertiary care centers. There is limited literature available on the optimal longitudinal care of this patient population. Here we outline our experience developing an interdisciplinary endocarditis program at the University of Kentucky, which cares for patients from their index hospitalization into the outpatient setting, while also coordinating transfers from regional hospitals and offering education to regional providers.
