6 Sanford Health of Northern Minnesota 118-bed regional medical center based in Bemidji, Minnesota. 78-bed skilled nursing home Home care and hospice 25-bed critical access hospital 37 Ambulatory clinics

7 Sanford Health of Northern Minnesota ASP Program and History Our program began in 2015 Team members include Pharmacy, Chief Medical Officer, Infectious Disease Physician, Infection Control Specialist, Quality, and Microbiology. Meet every other month Bemidji ASP reports to the Enterprise ASP committee as well as the local Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Early initiatives included Incorporation of antimicrobial review into clinical pharmacist workflow Training pharmacists Provider education about ASP Determining committee structure and reporting Garnering administrative support

8 ASP Regulatory Entities Joint Commission Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) NHSN Antimicrobial Usage (AU) and Antimicrobial Use and Resistance (AUR)

9 What is antimicrobial stewardship? Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) defines antimicrobial stewardship as coordinated interventions designed to improve and measure the appropriate use of antimicrobials by promoting the selection of the optimal antimicrobial drug regimen, dose, duration of therapy, and route of administration. Can be practiced in all healthcare settings as well as on an individual and system wide level. Often a collaborative effort from providers, pharmacists, microbiologists, infection control, and information technologists.

10 Why is it important? Antibiotics are prescribed unnecessarily or inappropriately % of the time in United States acute care hospitals. This can lead to antimicrobial resistance which is a growing problem and serious threat to our society s collective health. About 23,000 people die as a result of resistant organism each year.

11 IDSA Antimicrobial Stewardship Targets Discontinue antimicrobials when no clear evidence of infection Adjust antimicrobial regimens to account for community acquired vs healthcare associated infection Recommend guideline-based empiric therapy and definitive therapy when pathogen is known De-escalate treatment to the narrowest spectrum drug(s) they can give to accomplish the goal Set an appropriate duration (stop date) for antibiotics Transition from intravenous to oral therapy when able
