Antimicrobial resistance is a major risk factor for poor patient outcomes, including increased mortality, longer length of hospital stay, and increased costs.  Antimicrobial stewardship is a primary multidisciplinary strategy to slow or reverse the liability of resistance, and such programs are now required for accreditation. 

In this webinar, Davey Legendre, Vice President, Clinical Infections Diseases, and Chuck Fogle, Vice President, Clinical Solutions, review the integral elements of a successful Antimicrobial Stewardship Program and discuss how pharmacies can implement key components and improve coordinated efforts to capture the most value from their execution, including improved patient outcomes and decreased costs. 

 

Audience takeaways include:

  • Elements of a successful antimicrobial stewardship program
  • Key barriers to implementation
  • Improving financial performance through antimicrobial stewardship
