Sustaining an Antimicrobial Stewardship Much needless expense, untoward effect, harm and disappointment can be prevented by better judgment in the use of antimicrobials Whitney A. Jones, PharmD Antimicrobial Stewardship Coordinator Infectious Diseases Specialist MCG Health, Inc. Objectives Describe ways in which to employ local microbiologic data Discuss the use of pharmacodynamic principles to optimize clinical outcomes Identify supplemental improvement strategies for antimicrobial stewardship Discuss modes of communication of stewardship processes and outcomes Antimicrobial Selection Imparts utmost importance on antimicrobial stewardship programs It s notjust about streamlininganymore anymore Multifaceted approach Selection of appropriate antimicrobial Dose optimization Curative duration of administration Minimization of toxicity Minimization of conditions for selection of resistant strains Boucher HW, et al.
