... On October 13th and 14th of 2022, a workshop entitled Accelerating the Development and Uptake of Rapid Diagnostics to Address Antibiotic Resistance was convened by the National Academies' Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation;1 the Forum on Medical and Public Health Preparedness for Disasters and Emergencies;2 and the Forum on Microbial Threats.3 The workshop provided a venue for stakeholders to discuss the current landscape of rapid diagnostics and to address antibiotic resistance, consider challenges and opportunities for spurring innovation, and consider practical next steps for accelerating the development and 1  See https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/forum-on-drug-discovery-development and-translation (accessed January 25, 2023)

... Rapid diagnostics can play a crucial role in reducing the unnecessary use of antibiotics, said Trainor, by providing clinicians with the right infor mation at the right time so they can make better decisions about appropri ate treatment for patients. Additionally, early detection and diagnosis of drug resistant bacterial infections can further enable disease surveillance and help prevent disease spread.

... Chapter 6 explores approaches to facilitate the adoption of rapid diagnostics by health care systems, including integration with a­ ntibiotic stewardship programs. Finally, Chapter 7 looks at the path forward, summarizing input from workshop participants on practical and potential opportunities for spurring the development and use of rapid diagnostics in healthcare settings.
