According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

6. Insufficient Documentation
When a provider’s documentation does not fully support the billed procedure code, it
comes under the insufficient documentation error. Common DME claim documentation
errors include:
Medical Necessity – It is critical that the evidence demonstrates the treatments billed
were medically necessary under Medicare’s coverage and payment policies.
Use of Modifiers – Incorrectly employed modifiers for DME billing can result in claims
being denied or rejected. Even a misplaced code can result in a claim denial.
Verification of Patient Data – A common factor is a lack of patient data verification.
Claims are denied by the CMS or the insurance provider if there are minor errors in
names, or the way forms are filled out.
