What is Antimicrobial Stewardship
Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) Systematic, multi-faceted approach to the use
of antimicrobial agents, to optimize clinical outcomes while minimizing unintended consequences
Goals of programs Achieve the best clinical outcomes Reduce emergence of resistant organisms Decrease costs
![Page 8: Pharmacist Monitoring Tools for Antimicrobial Stewardship](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568163c2550346895dd4e895/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Antimicrobial Stewardship at MHS
Specialized ID pharmacist Prospective audit of targeted
hospitalized patients receiving antimicrobial agents and/or diagnosis of infection
Patient identification based on the following: Selected antimicrobials Bug-drug mismatches Inappropriate durations of therapy De-escalation opportunities
![Page 9: Pharmacist Monitoring Tools for Antimicrobial Stewardship](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568163c2550346895dd4e895/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Role of Decision Support in AMS
Efficiently identify patients who need to be reviewed Pharmacists spend time assessing patient
therapy versus report generation and data mining
Easily generate daily reports in a timely manner that pharmacists can utilize
Target patients by running reports based on flexible criteria

Challenges Identifying specific interventions Incorporating tools into pharmacist
workflows Quirky BPA behavior based on free text Lacking interfaced lab system Free text data sent for microbiology
results from lab system Competing requests for reporting
resources
![Page 30: Pharmacist Monitoring Tools for Antimicrobial Stewardship](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081505/568163c2550346895dd4e895/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Mitigating Challenges Creative use of BPA’s and searching for
free text strings Use of reports with data already in the
Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) for other initiatives (sepsis metrics)
Leverage expertise from outside the pharmacy team
