antimicrobial stewardship programs

How Do ASPs Work?

ASPs typically involve several key strategies:
Education and Training: Providing healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to prescribe antimicrobials responsibly.
Guideline Development: Creating evidence-based guidelines for the appropriate use of antimicrobials.
Monitoring and Surveillance: Tracking antimicrobial use and resistance patterns to identify trends and areas for improvement.
Formulary Restrictions: Limiting the use of certain antimicrobials to cases where they are absolutely necessary.
Feedback and Reporting: Regularly reporting antimicrobial use and resistance data to healthcare providers to encourage adherence to guidelines.
