What is Antibiotic Stewardship?  Antibiotic stewardship is the effort to: • Measure antibiotic prescribing • Improve antibiotic prescribing 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 It’s about patient safety and delivering high-quality healthcare. 5

Why Antibiotic Stewardship in Outpatient Settings?  High levels of antibiotic use • Majority of human antibiotic use occurs in outpatients • 30% of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary  50% of antibiotics for acute respiratory conditions are unnecessary  It’s a matter of patient safety • Side effects from antibiotics lead to an estimated 143,000 emergency department visits per year • Antibiotic treatment is the most important risk factor for Clostridium difficile infection  Inappropriate antibiotic use is primary modifiable driver of antibiotic resistance Shehab N, et al.

CDC Core Elements for Antibiotic Stewardship for Hospitals, Outpatient Facilities, and Nursing Homes. 7

Initial Steps for Antibiotic Stewardship Condition Category Example(s) Antibiotics are overprescribed Acute uncomplicated bronchitis Overdiagnosed Group A Streptococcal pharyngitis Wrong dose, duration or agent Azithromycin for sinusitis Watchful waiting or delayed Acute otitis media in children prescribing is underused Antibiotics are underused Sepsis or sexually transmitted infections 8

Initial Steps for Antibiotic Stewardship This should include antibiotic justification in medical records. 9

Why is the Emergency Department a target site for stewardship? *Each year 10 million antibiotic prescriptions are written from the ED *Unnecessary antibiotics are frequently prescribed for known viral infections. -75% of adults with acute bronchitis -45% of children with viral URI *Inappropriate antibiotics are frequent -66% for UTI • 10

How can health professionals help? Physicians, PA’s, Dentists, Nurses, Pharmacists, etc.  Prevent infections by ensuring that your hands, instruments and environments are clean and safe for use.  Keep patient vaccinations up to date  Talk to patients about antibiotic resistance and dangers of unnecessary use  Only prescribe and dispense when they are truly needed.  Prescribe/dispense according to current guidelines, use rapid diagnostics  Always follow infection prevention and control protocols  Talk to patients about preventing infections (good hygiene, vaccinations, safe sex, covering mouth and nose when sneezing)  Screen mothers and babies for infections  Advise on advantages of breastfeeding  Educate patients on antibiotics, make sure they are taking right dose, right time, best route, and side effects to report.  Develop standards and guidelines (such as nurse driven catheter removal) 12

How do we educate consumers and patients?  Educate patients regarding medication safety. Encourage never sharing or using leftover antibiotics. Educate on potential side effects.  Prevent infections by regularly washing hands, handling food in a safe, clean manner, avoid close contact with sick people.  Promote vaccinations. (Say it is time for your annual flu shot, not do you want your flu shot?)  Share messages on Social Media, Twitter, Facebook, websites and use hashtag #AntibioiticResistance or #AntibioticStewardship  Education in waiting rooms, short videos in lobbies, brochures  Letters to parents, flyers in elevators, posters in exam rooms  Table tents in cafeterias, lobbies, and shopping malls  Newspaper and radio spots  Speak at local organizations and clubs 13

How can managers help?  By ensuring that staff clean their hands, that instruments and environments are clean and safe for use.  Implement programs to monitor prescribing and resistance patterns  Dedicate resources (financial, IT) to tackling antibiotic resistance and preventing the spread of infections  Discharge patients as soon as they are well enough to lower the risk of infection  Add antibiotic stewardship to job descriptions and allow employees time to work on projects. 14

Regardless of the clinical setting, the overarching goal is: To promote adherence to clinical practice guidelines, to provide the best standard of care and minimize the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria. 15

Community collaboration can happen by everyone working together! *Physician Clinics *Emergency Departments *Long Term Care *Home Health *Pharmacies *Urgent Care *Public Health Department *State Department of Health *Rural Health Care Clinics *Dentists, Veterinaries, Ag producers *Schools, Colleges, Universities 16
