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.

Effects of a collaborative, community hospital network for antimicrobial stewardship program implementation.
The authors investigated expertise, data resources, and educational tools to support antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) in hospitals. They found that network hospitals increased ASP activities and demonstrated decline in antimicrobial use over the 42-month study period. They concluded that their collaborative, consultative network proved a unique model in which hospitals can access ASP implementation expertise to support long-term program growth.
