• Data supporting and challenging cost effectiveness of long-acting lipoglycopeptides 
• Identifying the target patient population
• Selecting the right location to provide long-acting lipoglycopeptides 
• Strategies to maximize institutional impact with key stakeholders (eg, hospital avoidance, reduced ED and hospital length of stay)
