Implementation of an antibiotic stewardship program in long-term care facilities across the US.
The purpose of this study was to determine if AHRQ鈥檚 Safety Program for Improving Antibiotic Use was associated with reductions in antibiotic use in long-term care (LTC) facilities in the US. Findings showed that participation in the 大象视频safety program was associated with the development of antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs) that actively engaged clinical staff in the decision-making processes around antibiotic prescriptions in participating LTC facilities. The reduction in days of antibiotic therapy and starts, which was more pronounced in more engaged facilities, indicated that implementation of this multifaceted program may support successful ASPs in LTC settings.

Dissemination of evidence-based antipsychotic prescribing guidelines to nursing homes: a cluster randomized trial.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of efforts to translate and disseminate evidence-based guidelines about atypical antipsychotic use to nursing homes (NHs). It found that RE-AIM indicators suggest some success in disseminating the toolkit and differences in reach, adoption, and implementation according to dissemination strategy but no measurable effect on antipsychotic prescribing trends.
