The New War on Bugs: Crafting an Effective Antibiotic Stewardship Program
More than half of all hospital patients are treated with antibiotics and prescribing practices vary widely, even within hospitals. Efforts to rationalize antibiotic use have been stymied by delays in obtaining specific diagnoses, by the volume of prescriptions written each day and by the difficulty of extracting meaningful data from scattered clinical, laboratory and pharmacy records. But the push is on – from the White House, the CDC, infectious disease specialists, the industry – for more judicious use of antibiotics through antibiotic stewardship programs.
Hear how leading health care institutions have moved from education to active surveillance to intervention, reducing infections and lowering costs.
