SUMMARY:LIVE SESSION: Antibiotic Surveillance and Increased Oversight of Infection Prevention & Control Programs
DESCRIPTION:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, antibiotics are among the most frequently prescribed medication in nursing facilities. However\, 40-75% of those prescribed antibiotics may be unnecessary or inappropriate – causing risk of serious diarrheal infections from Clostridium difficile\, increased adverse drug events and drug interactions\, and colonization and/or infection with antibiotic-resistant organisms. We already know that monitoring and tracking antibiotic use in nursing facilities is an arduous and painstakingly timely process\, but vital if we want to improve outcomes and eliminate needless side effects. The right technology can help – by not only automating the tracking and reporting of antibiotic use facility-wide\, but also by identifying the early warning signs of infection\, highlighting the need for possible testing to determine the appropriate drug interventions. \nWhat You Will Learn: \n\nReview and Understand CDC Antibiotic Stewardship requirements\nLearn strategies to improve antibiotic use and reduce antibiotic resistance as well as unnecessary adverse drug interactions\nLeverage technology for fast and efficient surveillance and reporting of antibiotic use among resident populations\n\nSpeaker: Cheryl Scalzo\, RN\, Clinical Account Specialist\, Real Time Medical Systems \nThis session is presented as part of Florida Health Care Association’s 2021 Annual Conference.
