Our Mission
The Ongoing Care of Congenital and Perinatal Infections (OKAPI) program at UT Health San Antonio aims to ensure that wherever infants are born, all newborns and their health teams have access to 24/7 pediatric infectious diseases support.
The OKAPI program is supported by a grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). It is free to all providers at participating centers, including physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, infection preventionists, administrators, and more!
We provide 24/7 telehealth support for questions on any and all neonatal infectious diseases topics, including:
- Antibiotic use in newborns
- Infection control and prevention for mothers and babies
- Confirmed or suspected sepsis
- Congenital infections such as syphilis, hepatitis, HIV
- and others…
For questions on infectious diseases topics, or if your center would like to participate in the OKAPI program, please do not hesitate to contact us.
