2 Outline of Presentation 1. What is Antibiotic Stewardship and Why Is It Important for Nursing Homes? 2. CMS Mandate for Nursing Homes to Implement Antibiotic Stewardship 3. Key Quality Improvement Targets in Nursing Home Infection Management 4. Developing an Antibiotic Stewardship Program in Your Nursing Home
3 What is Antibiotic Stewardship? and Why Is It Important for Nursing Homes?
4 Antibiotic Stewardship Is A set of commitments and activities designed to: optimize the treatment of infections and reduce the adverse events associated with antibiotic overuse
5 In Operational Terms, Antibiotic Stewardship Is. A system of informatics, data collection, personnel, policies and procedures designed to assure that patients get: the right drug at the right time for the right duration
6 Why Antibiotic Stewardship Is Important for Society Overall and Specifically for Nursing Homes
7 Worldwide Crisis of Antibiotic Resistance Multi drug resistance increasingly common Over 20,000 deaths annually in U.S.A. from multidrug resistant infections Projected 317,000 deaths per year by 2050
8 12 questions we need to prioritise in 2017
9 What s Causing the Crisis? 1. Fewer New Antibiotics Being Developed 2. Resistant Strains Spread Rapidly Antibiotics Are Overused
10
11
12 Why the Focus on Nursing Homes Antibiotic usage tends to be quite high NHs with the highest prescribing rates tend to also have the highest clostridium difficile infection rates Residents LIVE there (as opposed to hospital)
13 Antibiotic Prescribing Rates across 31 North Carolina Nursing Homes Average # Antibiotic Prescriptions Per Resident in One Year * The Average: Nursing Home Resident 4.6 antibiotic prescriptions per year 1 prescription every 80 days On antibiotics 10% of the time median Nursing Home
14 Resistant Bacteria Now Commonly Colonize Nursing Home Residents results of skin, airway, skin and wound cultures in 82 residents J Clin Micro 50(5); , Bacterial colonies present MRSA CR GNR VRE 18% 63% 72% % of Nursing Home Residents with Positive Culture
15 Clostridium Difficile: an Indicator of Antibiotic Overuse
16 Reasons Antibiotics Are Prescribed Presumed Skin and Soft Tissue Infection Other Infection The most common other infection is C. difficile Presumed Urinary Infection Respiratory Infection
17 CMS Mandate for Nursing Homes to Implement Antibiotic Stewardship
18 42 CFR Parts 405, 431, 447, 482, 483, 485, 488, and 489 Reform of Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities We are requiring facilities to develop an Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) that includes an Antibiotic Stewardship Program and designate at least one infection Preventionist (IP). That program should include antibiotic use protocols and a system to monitor antibiotic use. Implementation Timetable: Antibiotic Stewardship 11/28/2017 Infection Preventionist (IP) 11/28/2019 IP on Quality Assessment and Assurance Committee 11/28/2019
19 Yes, This is a policy change Prescribing antibiotics just in case was accepted in the past, but now antibiotics should be given after careful, evidence based consideration of risks and necessity. This session will provide guidance on key elements of antibiotic stewardship for your nursing home

24 Key Areas for Improvement in Nursing Home Antibiotic Use
25 Decision Making Can Be Complicated Nurse Provider Supervisor I learned in nursing school back in 1968 Family Every time mother [Does X] she needs antibiotics
26 Case #1 Mrs. Jenkins, a 79 year old with stroke, incontinence Wet incontinence pad has odor No complaints Normal vital signs What would you do and why?
27 Is This Evidence Based Practice?
28 What Causes Changes in Urine Color or Odor? Diet Medications Dehydration Bacteria in urine If person is not sick, it s asymptomatic bacteriuria
29
30 Is Cloudy or Smelly Urine a Reason To Give Antibiotics? Percent Nurses Geriatricians Yes No Geriatr Nurs Jul Aug;26(4):
31 What should you do for Mrs. Jenkins? Should you get a urine culture just in case?
32 Ordering a Urine Culture: A Gateway to Overprescribing? results of 254 randomly sampled cultures from 31 nursing homes Antibiotic Prescribing Decision when the Culture was Ordered Culture Result Prescribing Decision when the Result was Reported Received Full Antibiotic Course No antibiotic 179 cases (70%) Neg = 68 Pos = (25%) were prescribed antibiotic 99 (89%) were prescribed antibiotic Antibiotic 75 cases (30)% Neg = 21 Pos = 54 2 (10%) stopped and 19 (90%) continued or changed antibiotic 0 (0%) stopped and 54 (100%) continued or changed antibiotic Bottom Line: 189 (74%) received a course of antibiotics, although 86% had a temperature less than 99 o F, 74% lacked documentation of any urinary tract specific signs or symptoms, and only 18% met the modified McGeer criteria for urinary tract infection. Why?
33 What Happened? Positive cultures were overtreated Negative cultures were ignored Most common reason cultures were ordered was mental status change, which is rarely due to urine infection Interestingly..The two sepsis cases that arose during 7 days post culture in these 254 patients were from non urinary sources and had negative urine cultures
34 Case #2: Two Different People Mrs. White 84 year old with arthritis and moderate dementia Uncooperative with dressing Irritable Eats half of breakfast Says she s tired
35 Case #2: Two Different People Ms. Blue 34 year old nurse Divorced, alone this weekend You were going to have lunch with her, but she cancels Low energy; not hungry Doesn t want to get dressed Doesn t want to deal with people
36 Both Have Similar Nonspecific Symptoms * Ms. White 84 year old with arthritis and moderate dementia Uncooperative with dressing Irritable Eats half of breakfast Says she s tired Ms. Blue 34 year old Divorced, alone this weekend Low energy ; not hungry Doesn t want to deal with people Doesn t want to get dressed * Nonspecific Symptoms don t relate to any particular body part or body system
37 What You Might Say to Your Friend Ms. Blue Coming down with a virus? Too much to drink last night? Didn t sleep well? Pain? Stress? Depression?
38 What the Nursing Supervisor Says About Ms. White Probably the urine. Needs an antibiotic. Turning to antibiotics as a knee jerk reaction. 38
39 Jumping to conclusions In nursing homes One of the biggest causes of unnecessary antibiotic use In medical decisionmaking the most common reason for medical errors What else could be causing Ms. White s fatigue, irritability, and poor appetite?
40 The Big Seven: Common Reasons for Nonspecific Symptoms Dehydration Medication side effect Coming down with a virus Didn t sleep well Pain Constipation Stress / anxiety / depression
41 Active Interventions for Non Specific Symptoms Assess hydration status (and encourage fluids) Review current medications Look for signs of a respiratory or GI virus Think about sleep problems Ask about pain / discomfort Ask about constipation Look for sources of stress, anxiety or depression Monitor symptoms and vital signs (especially temperature) Use nursing interventions where appropriate
42 Case #3 Mr. Leonard, 76 year old nonsmoker 5 days of nasal congestion, sore throat and sneezing Hacking cough worse at night Decreased appetite, more tired Temp 99.4, other vitals normal, pulse ox 97% Placed on antibiotics
43 Research Result: Cough Alone Increases 3x the likelihood of a NH Patient Getting Antibiotics Question: Is cough alone a reason to give antibiotics? Why or why not?
44 Common Respiratory Infections Infection Type Common Cause Common Symptoms Common Cold Virus Nasal congestion/sneezing Sore throat Dry cough +/ fever Acute bronchitis Virus Cough (+/ sputum) +/ Fever Distinguishing Features Nasal symptoms Normal vitals (+/ fever) Unchanged lung exam Normal chest X ray Normal vitals (+/ fever) Pneumonia Bacteria or Virus Cough (+ sputum) Pleuritic chest pain Fever Abnormal vital signs Abnormal lung exam Infiltrate on chest X ray Mental status changes Influenza like illness Virus Sore throat Dry cough Fever Chills Body aches Malaise COPD exacerbation Virus or bacterial Cough (+/ sputum) +/ Fever Normal chest X ray Normal vitals (+/ fever)
45 Case 4 Does this need antibiotics? One week later
46 Case 5 Does this need antibiotics? Two weeks later

58 How to Develop an Antibiotic Stewardship Program in Your Nursing Home
59 #1: Commit Leadership / Create Team Agree to incorporate antibiotic stewardship into facility Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement goals, monitoring, and reporting Identify an infection preventionist (a.k.a. infection control nurse or infection specialist) and provide time Set up an antibiotic stewardship leadership team Communicate expectations to medical and nursing staff
60 Create an Antibiotic Stewardship Team and Make them Accountable Medical Director Director of Nursing Infection Preventionist Consultant Pharmacist Laboratory ID Consultant
61 #2: Gather and Report Data Core Outcomes Selected Process Measures Antibiotic prescriptions / 1,000 resident days Percent of time on antibiotics C difficile infection rate Urine cultures: multidrug resistance rate Rate of hospitalization for sepsis Rate of fever among persons who had antibiotics initiated in the nursing home, by infection site Proportion of prescriptions that are high C diff risk antibiotics, by infection site Urine cultures per 1,000 resident days

77 #4: Set Goals and Establish Policies Timetable for implementing program Data reporting Education Quality improvement reports? Involvement in collaborative Initial targets
78 Establishing Policies and Procedures Some say to do this first However, reviewing data and setting facility priorities may be better to do first Best policies and procedures are endorsed by facility staff and updated regularly AMDA will soon publish a report with sample policies and procedures for antibiotic stewardship
79 Evidence Based Strategies That Work Communication guidelines for nursing staff around suspected infections SBAR; protocols(e.g, asking for photos of skin problems) Publicizing antibiotic use statistics (QAPI) Antibiotic initiation protocols Antibiotic duration guidelines Antibiotic time out Protocol for ordering of urine cultures Protocol for management of urine culture results CRITICAL ROLE OF LEADERSHIP CANNOT BE OVEREMPHASIZED
