3 How do AU vendors and NHSN AU work to drive stewardship efforts? Is infection prevention an important part of ASP? Does ASP save money? Be able to describe stewardship efforts in hospital, LTC, clinic, and dental settings. Be able to promote the value of community stewardship efforts.

4 Pharmacist-led antimicrobial stewardship SHS serves about 50,000 people in rural southwest Colorado, and in parts of Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, including the Ute Mountain Ute and Navajo reservations. SHS has 25 inpatient beds and ten clinics.

19 Arjun Srinivasan MD Associate Director for Healthcare Associated Infection Prevention Programs at the CDC Want to halt the spread of antibiotic resistance? Think infection prevention. Antibiotic stewardship and infection control need to be seen as inseparable sides of the same coin. Let s look at some data

20 Effect of antibiotic stewardship on the incidence of infection and colonization with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and Clostridium difficile infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis The Lancet, June 2017

21 ? I believe ASP s are patient safety programs and it s all about doing what is right for the patient. But let s take a look at some data and you decide!

22 According to the CDC, implementation of infection control and antibiotic stewardship will, in 5 years: Reduce MDR HAIs or CDI deaths by 37,000. Reduce MDR HAIs or CDI infections by 619,000.

30 Pick your area of concern from your data. Do a search of professional societies for current guidances that match your area of concern. Pull current papers on your topic since the guidance was published; if no guidance is available, develop yours based on the studies. Consider a collaborative effort with another hospital, clinic, LTC, hospital association, LTC association, APIC, or pharmacy groups. You have a packet with all guidances we have used in the projects being discussed today.

31 Keep them simple and measureable. Don t look at too many items in your study. Do your own benchmarking with baseline data or make sure you can obtain a benchmark. Publish your goals and post your progress to your providers and staff. Readjust goals and guidance during the project if needed.

32 Go slow, be successful! Suggested first projects Form an official stewardship team Antibiogram program UTI, SSTI, URI, CAP/HAP guidance (IDSA, SHEA etc) Guideline-based OR prophylaxis (IDSA, APHA, SHEA, College of Surgeons) Restrict your formulary Monitor new antibiotic IV starts Monitor antibiotic total monthly costs DOT monitoring if feasible Choose an antibiotic class to monitor Review your handwashing program Antibiotic timeouts Daily patient care rounding as a team

45 Antibiotic treatment is essential to treat septicemia Clinical signs include pyrexia, trismus, significant regional lymphadenopathy, gross facial swelling, closure of the eye, dysphagia, tachycardia, and rigors Historically, antibiotics have been prescribed in courses between 5 and 10 days duration. It is becoming increasingly evident that long courses of antibiotics are not required and may destroy the homeostasis of the oral micro-flora and lead to colonization resistance Usually they can be discontinued after 2 to 3 days

46 Following drainage and removal of the cause of infection, a three-day standard dose antibiotic regime was effective in the management of the acute dentoalveolar abscess in all reviewed patients The predominant organisms isolated from dentoalveolar abscesses derived from the periodontal tissues are obligate anaerobes Those derived from periapical tissues are mixed infections British Dental Journal 2011;211: S. J. Ellison

48 Prescribe only when clinical signs and symptoms of infection are present (fever, swelling, etc.) Use the most narrow-spectrum antibiotic for the shortest duration possible Revise antibiotic regimens based on patient progress and culture if needed Collaborate with referring specialist about prescribing protocols Fluent, Jacobson, Hicks: Considerations for Responsible Antibiotic Use in Dentistry, JADA 2016

68 Stewardship along with infection prevention does save the health system money. Stewardship is a data-driven quality learning process for all areas of the medical system. The bulk of antibiotics are prescribed in the community setting, not the hospital. We need to fine-tune antibiotic usage in all care settings.
