How do antimicrobial stewardship programs balance the need for effective antibiotic therapy with concerns about overuse and antimicrobial resistance?
Sreemoy Kanti Das
Hi Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) balance the need for effective antibiotic therapy with concerns about overuse and antimicrobial resistance through several key strategies such as below
- Evidence-Based Guidelines: ASPs develop and implement guidelines based on the latest evidence to ensure that antibiotics are prescribed only when necessary and that the most appropriate antibiotic, dose, and duration are selected for each patient.
- Diagnostic Stewardship: Promoting accurate and timely diagnosis of infections to ensure that antibiotics are used appropriately and only when there is clear evidence of bacterial infection.
