HAP-FAST: a feasibility study incorporating qualitative, mechanistic and costing sub-studies alongside a randomised pilot trial comparing chest x-ray to low-dose CT scan and empirical antibiotics to antibiotics guided by the BIOFIRE FILM ARRAY pneumonia plus panel in adults with suspected non-ventilator-associated hospital-cquired pneumonia

HAP-FAST Feasibility Study

Key Points:

• Evaluating the clinical impact of low-dose CT scans and rapid molecular sputum analysis for suspected non-ventilator-associated hospital-acquired pneumonia (nv-HAP).

• Incorporating a pilot trial, qualitative study, costing analysis, and immune-pathophysiology investigation.

• Participants recruited from four acute hospitals in the Northwest of the UK.

• Assessing trial processes, outcome measures, and patient/staff experiences to determine feasibility of a future trial.

Practical Solutions and Value:

• Utilizing AI-driven platform DocSym to consolidate ICD-11 standards, clinical protocols, and research for clinicians.

• Streamlining operations with mobile apps for scheduling, treatment monitoring, and telemedicine to enhance patient care and expand digital services.

• AI integration to improve workflows and patient outcomes while reducing paper routines.
