42 CFR 483.80 Infection Control • F881 §483.80(a) Infection prevention and control program.

The facility must establish an infection prevention and control program (IPCP) that must include, at a minimum, the following elements:

• §483.80(a)(3) An antibiotic stewardship program that includes antibiotic use protocols and a system to monitor antibiotic use.

• The intent of this regulation is to ensure that the facility: • Develops and implements protocols to optimize the treatment of infections by

ensuring that residents who require an antibiotic, are prescribed the appropriate antibiotic;

• Reduces the risk of adverse events, including the development of antibiotic-resistant organisms, from unnecessary or inappropriate antibiotic use; and

• Develops, promotes, and implements a facility-wide system to monitor the use of antibiotics.
