This one hour presentation by Cathy Montgomery, RN, CASC and Robin Novak, RN, CIC will discuss and define antibiotic stewardship programs that are currently mandated in hospitals and long term care facilities and how the ambulatory surgery center should begin preparation. Antibiotic resistance is widely recognized as a critical threat to public health. And the problem seems to be getting worse. All healthcare facilities and professionals are being asked to do their part. Already mandated in LTC, proposed for hospitals as a mandate, and now Antibiotic Stewardship Programs have made their way into the ASC world! Missouri requires its Ambulatory Surgery Centers to have one in place by August 28, 2017. Due to Federal discussions, other states will likely follow suite. 

The learner will be able to:

  • Describe the current regulatory environment
  • Define antimicrobial stewardship
  • Describe the CDC’s  7 Core Elements
  • Define various implementation tools and concepts
  • Discuss implementation challenges
