AS is the Effort to…
• Improve prescribing by clinicians and use by patients so that antibiotics are only prescribed and used when needed.
• Minimize misdiagnoses or delayed diagnoses leading to underuse of antibiotics.
• Ensure that the right drug, dose, and duration are selected when an antibiotic is needed.
• Measure antibiotic prescribing.
The goal of AS is to maximize the benefit of treatment while minimizing harm to individuals and communities.

Core Elements of Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship
Commitment: Demonstrate dedication to and accountability for optimizing antibiotic prescribing and patient safety.Action for policy and practice: Implement at least one policy or practice to improve antibiotic prescribing, assess whether it is working, and modify as needed.
Tracking and reporting: Monitor antibiotic prescribing practices and offer regular feedback to clinicians or have clinicians asses their own antibiotic use.
Education and expertise: Provide educational resources to clinicians and patients on antibiotic prescribing and ensure access to needed expertise on antibiotic prescribing

Core Element #3 Tracking and Reporting

Steps to Track Antibiotic Prescribing
Overview:• Chart review and
assessment are fundamental to improving healthcare quality.
• This sheet is designated as a “bare minimum” guide to auditing appropriate antibiotic use for acute bronchitis in otherwise healthy adults.

Four Key Components Audit Process
1. Pull visit charts with diagnosis of acute bronchitis, and apply inclusion and exclusion criteria
2. Determine the number of uncomplicated bronchitis visits in which antibiotics were prescribed
3. Calculate prescribing rates for acute bronchitis
4. Compare observed prescribing rate to recommended prescribing rate

Antibiogram Toolkit
• Cumulative antibiogram report is used to guide initial empirical antimicrobial therapy decisions when definitive microbiological susceptibilities are unavailable for the infecting pathogen(s).
• Toolkit provides direction for clinicians involved in creating the cumulative antibiogram report and educating clinicians on its use.

“Bite-Size” Webinars
• Practical strategies to improve infection prevention and AS
• Common barriers that lead to deviation from best practices
• Identifying high-priority conditions for intervention
• Using clinical practice guidelines to establish expectations for appropriate prescribing
• Strategies to improve provider patient communication
