Evaluating the Effectiveness of an Antimicrobial Stewardship Intervention on Reducing the Incidence Rate of Healthcare-Associated Clostridium difficile Infection
Background. The incidence rate of healthcare-associated Clostridium difficile infection (HA-CDI) is estimated at 1 in 100 patients. Antibiotic exposure is the most consistently reported risk factor. Strategies to reduce HA-CDI have focused on reducing antibiotic utilization. Prospective audit and feedback (PAF) is a commonly used antimicrobial stewardship intervention (ASi). The impact of this ...

متن کاملPoint-of-prescription interventions to improve antimicrobial stewardship.
Antimicrobial stewardship is pivotal to improving patient outcomes, reducing adverse events, decreasing healthcare costs, and preventing further emergence of antimicrobial resistance. In an era in which antimicrobial resistance is increasing, judicious antimicrobial use is the responsibility of every healthcare provider. Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) have made headway in improving a...
متن کاملAntimicrobial stewardship: lessons from human healthcare.
This paper focuses on antimicrobial stewardshipin human healthcare, and some concepts possibly transferable to veterinary medicine. Antimicrobial stewardship is a multidisciplinary effort to reduce antimicrobial resistance in human pathogens, when future drug development is dwindling. These strategies encourage healthcare staff to use antimicrobials prudently and, when needed, for as short a du...
