While the Dutch have AMS programs running in their hospitals for years
AMS in the nursing home setting is (more or less) unknown (in the NL)

¤ Structure
² presence of microbiology & pharmacy, ID/MMB consultant
¤ Implementation of AMS team
² antibiotic formulary present but nothing else
¤ Surveillance
² limited prevalence or use data
¤ Training/Education
² no training for nurses, little for elderly-care MDs

¤ Nursing homes are sufficiently connected to the hospital network to
drive national epidemics
¤ Emerging pathogens can, in the absence of control measures, sustain
or initiate nationwide outbreaks
à To protect overall healthcare network good infection control and
AMS in nursing homes desirable

Zhiqiu et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2015;36:759 (Rochester, USA)
NHs tend to follow voluntary infection
control guidelines only if doing so does not
require substantial financial investment in
new/dedicated staff or infrastructure
What does
this mean
for AMS?

¤ Project group and planning
¤ Built and implement new AB-use list (if needed)
¤ Focus group to better understand HCWs, patients and family
members
¤ Implement new rules for MD’s and nurses
¤ Create AMS-team: MD, pharmacists, CM/ID
¤ Create (standardized) score-list for AB-use
¤ How should AMS-team work in nursing home?
¤ Training and education

Is that really needed?

Olans et al. CID 206;62:84
Nurses are antibiotic first responders, central communicators,
coordinators of care, as well as 24-hour monitors of patient status,
safety, and response to antibiotic therapy.
¤ Nurses are the cause of antibiotic-use if
they take a dip-test without prior
consultation of the MD
¤ Became part of the score list à no dip-
slide test by nurses without consultation

ANTIBIOTICS
¤ MD easy describes antibiotics when pushed by family
à educate patients’ family members
¤ While being “on-duty” = taking care of elderly patients they
don’t know well, MDs faster start antibiotics
² no dip-slide tests
² try to postpone to working hours
² PM orders/additional information while passing on duty

¤ Nursing home is NOT a hospital
²no switch, “no” reserve-AB, limited # antibiotics, structure/logistics
¤ Dedicated MD is a must!!!
¤ Face-to-face meetings (A-team) important during start-up
¤ What to do with ciprofloxacin use
¤ Impact of “culture with first Rx”
¤ How to implement in whole NH
¤ NH was better than expected
² improvement possible, but mostly they used 1st choice AB, correct dose,
interval and length or Rx, plus included, indication for AB
¤ Most frequent mistake
² during being on-duty, due to pressure of nurses or family
¤ Ways to improve
² education of nurses and family (e-learning)
² Rules to use urine-sticks and Uricult
² Try to delay treatment and less empiric treatment
