General Approaches to Antibiotic Stewardship
Preprescription/Front-End
¡ Formulary restrictions ¡ Force clinician collaboration
¡ Antibiogram Use ¡ Tailor antibiotics to location—
guides restriction
¡ Guideline Development
¡ Required information on medication orders
¡ Education
¡ Vaccine administration
Postprescription/Back-End
¡ Prospective Audit and Feedback (PAF)
¡ Antibiotic “time-outs” and stops
¡ Physician/Pharmacist rounding
¡ De-escalation ¡ IV:PO
¡ Education
¡ Infection Control Education
Inpatient Approaches to
Antibiotic Stewardship
CDC Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs
Risks of Inappropriate Use ¡ Organ system damage/toxicity ¡ Due to wrong dose
¡ Ex: vancomycin, gentamycin
¡ Formation of “super bugs” ¡ E.g. increasing occurrence of C. Diff
¡ Increase in patient costs
¡ Increase in length of stay
CDC’s: Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs
¡ Elements of Success: ¡ Leadership Commitment ¡ Accountability ¡ Drug Expertise ¡ Action ¡ Tracking ¡ Reporting ¡ Education
Leadership Commitment: Culture Change ¡ “Whole Facility/System” Approach ¡ Administration
¡ Medical Staff personnel
¡ Pharmacy staff
¡ Lab personnel
¡ Nursing personnel
¡ Locums participation
¡ Quality Improvement/Infection Control Staff
¡ IT staff participation
Accountability and Drug Expertise: ID physician + Pharmacist
¡ Stewardship Program Leader ¡ ID physician ideal ¡ Can telehealth be utilized?
¡ Pharmacy Leader ¡ ASP/Infectious disease training ideal
¡ SIDP ¡ MAD-ID
¡ Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee is “not enough”
¡ Accountability of other departments
Action: Implement Policies and Interventions to Improve Antibiotic Use
¡ Implement policies that support studious antibiotic use ¡ Restricted formulary ¡ Antibiotic “time outs” & automatic stops ¡ 3 D’s when prescribing
¡ Optimization here ¡ Prescribing pathways
¡ Prospective audit & feedback ¡ External party
¡ Disease-specific focus ¡ PCN skin testing
Tracking and Reporting Antibiotic Use and Outcomes
¡ Usage trends
¡ Pharmacy interventions
¡ Inventory value
¡ DOT (days of therapy)
¡ Clinical outcomes
Education
¡ In house training sessions ¡ Didactic
¡ Articles/guidelines
¡ Follow up on facility specific results ¡ Antibiogram
¡ Infection prevention interventions
¡ Infection Control
¡ Don’t forget your community!
Steps to Forming Stewardship ¡ Gain physician championship
¡ Establish pharmacy leadership
¡ Outline facility-specific goals
¡ Discuss prescribing pathways
¡ Develop data capturing
¡ Continuous provider/patient education
¡ Focused diligence
Inpatient/Acute Care Action Items ¡ IV:PO standing policy
¡ Appropriate antibiotic choice—multidisciplinary approach
¡ Appropriate pharmacokinetic dosing (ex: vancomycin)
¡ PCN allergy testing—ensure “hard PCN stops”
¡ Infection control committee
¡ Order set management—EHR embedment
¡ “Off limits” list/pre-authorization list
¡ Working with lab—forming facility antibiogram
