Infectious disease expertise has never been more critical. Hospitals across the country are grappling with workforce shortages, rising antimicrobial resistance, and complex infection control challenges. Yet, with fewer than 12,000 board-certified infectious disease physicians in the U.S., access to timely expertise remains out of reach for many hospitals and patients.

At ID Week 2025, Access TeleCare will highlight how our teleInfectious disease programs are closing this gap by delivering on-demand access to board-certified specialists. From inpatient consults to antimicrobial stewardship and outbreak response, Access TeleCare helps hospitals strengthen care delivery while supporting clinicians and improving outcomes.

With more than 2,200 active programs nationwide and over 6 million patient encounters, Access TeleCare has the scale and expertise to meet hospitals where they are — ensuring patients receive the right treatment, faster, and hospitals can manage infectious disease with confidence.

“Access to infectious disease specialists is a challenge for hospitals nationwide,” said Joshua DeTillio, MBA, FACHE, CEO of Access TeleCare. “Our teleInfectious disease programs give hospitals reliable, immediate expertise that supports antibiotic stewardship, improves patient care, and builds stronger, more resilient health systems.”
