    Hello IDIIG friends!  Many of you stewies out there are doing your end-of-year data validation for AU and AR.   I have heard from a couple of hospitals on Epic who are having trouble with alignment of FACWIDEIN antibiotic days and sum of locations in AU - as in FACWIDEIN antibiotic days not ending up consistently smaller than  summed individual location antibiotic days, which is how it is supposed to work.  Issues seem to be more around antibiotics dosed more than once a day (cefazolin or meropenem as examples). Anyone with similar trouble? Let's help our friends crowdsource it - let us know!  - Sasha
