4 From: Director of Nursing Sent: Wednesday, 29 Oct :32 PM To: Noleen Bennett Subject: Question Hi Noleen, I have just noticed the proposed UTI clinical pathway detailed in the regional newsletter. At a quick glance, the pathway looks way over the top for our purposes. It might be ok to guide medical staff but nurses do not need to know about antimicrobial use. Can you please advise where exactly this is going and what issues it is based on? DON
5 Response From: Sent: NOT sent (20 th Nov 2016) To: DON Subject: Response Hi DON, Nurses DO have a role in implementing successful AMS programs.. From the 2016 ACIPC AMS for Nurses Workshop participants
6 Aims To highlight why it is important clinical nurses are actively involved in AMS programs. To describe the activities that clinical nurses can undertake as part of an AMS program. To outline the support systems required to successfully enable clinical nurses to be involved in AMS programs. To describe some specific nurses roles. To outline some potential research studies.
7 Methodology PubMed search Nurse/ Nurse Practitioner/ ICP Antibiotic/antimicrobial Resistance/Stewardship Nursing Australian College of Nursing (ACN) UK Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Australasian College for Infection Prevention & Control (ACIPC) Australian Commission Quality & Safety in Healthcare (ACQSHC) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
8 To highlight why it is important clinical nurses are actively involved in AMS programs
9 Reasons LARGE part of the health care workforce. Are the most constant presence for patients/residents. Are patient/resident advocates. Are involved in all aspects of patient/resident care. Education Medication management Work & communicate with most other key healthcare worker groups. Work within multiple levels at the local clinical setting. Work at a local, national & international level.
10 AMR Strategy Goal: Minimise the development and spread of AMR and ensure the continued availability of effective antimicrobials
11 ACN Comment on Draft AMR Strategy Nurses are integral to much of the health care delivered in Australia & thus have a key role to play in safeguarding antibiotic s effectiveness for future generations. Nurses are involved in most aspects of the prevention & control of AMR, including through patient education, infection prevention & control, monitoring of antibiotic use, prescribing & the development of organisational policies. Engagement with nurses is an important factor in addressing the emerging threat of AMR.
12 UK RCN Position Statement Nurses have a significant role to play in limiting the threat posed by AMR through their leadership skills supporting infection prevention and control, antimicrobial stewardship & public health. It is essential that nurses are recognised as influential members of the multidisciplinary team in combating AMR & assuring stewardship.
13 To describe some activities that clinical nurses can undertake as part of an AMS programs
14 Activities Patient Management Plans Infection Control and Prevention Medication (antimicrobial) management Collaboration Education Surveillance
15 Patient management plans Assess patients risk of both acquiring & transmitting an infection. Complete nursing care plans or notes that accurately reflect infection. Facilitate efficient discharge planning. Assess patients suitability for Hospital in the Home programs.
16 Infection prevention & control Implement standard & traditional precautions. Correctly collect microbiological specimens if clinical need is clearly indicated. Ensure timely transfer of microbiological specimens to laboratories to maintain specimen quality. Review & recognise when treatment is not in line with microbiological result.
17 Medication management Question suboptimal antimicrobial management & documentation. Recognise when patients are able to tolerate oral intake & could change from IV to oral antimicrobials. Ensure timely administration of antimicrobials & follow up on missed doses. As applicable, administer antimicrobials at the right rate. Undertake timely therapeutic drug monitoring to ensure antimicrobials that perform optimally within a specific therapeutic level are in line with recommended guidance. Monitor the patient to ensure antimicrobial has the intended effect. Recognise antimicrobial allergies & side effects. Support the use of standardised medication charts that document for each prescribed antimicrobial its generic name, dose, time, route, reason for administration, review & stop date. Accurately & clearly document the administration of any antimicrobials. Correctly dispose of unused antimicrobials
18 Medication management FIVE rights 1. Right patient 2. Right drug 3. Right route 4. Right time 5. Right dose NINE rights Five rights plus 7. Right documentation 8. Right action 8. Right form 9. Right response Ref: Elliott M & Liu Y. 2010
19 Collaboration Participate in (AMS) ward rounds. Participate in the development of guidelines & policies that detail the use of medications. Suggest antimicrobial choices to medical staff in line with guideline recommendations. Liaise between (offsite) doctors, microbiologists, pharmacists, patients/residents and families.
20 Education Provide patient (consumer) education about antimicrobials, especially prior to discharge. Educate (new) colleagues about the appropriate use of antimicrobials, especially in relation to a specialist area. Encourage patients & other colleagues to question suboptimal antimicrobial management & documentation.
21 Consumer education About actions consumers can take to help tackle AMR & how to correctly use antimicrobials. Includes explaining: Differences between bacteria and viruses & why viruses do not respond to antibiotics What AMR is What antimicrobial allergies mean Why the antimicrobial is needed How & when antimicrobials should be taken How long antimicrobials should be taken for Not to share antimicrobials with others Not take antibiotics left over from a previous illness.
22 Surveillance Audit medical records and collect data. Analyse data and present in easy to understand formats. Feedback analysed data to the team Instigate as necessary (and review) new interventions.
23 Surveillance To register: naps.org.au
24 Surveillance: Example UK point incidence study Aim: To investigate delayed & omitted antimicrobials Measurement No (%) Participating organisations 45 Patient records audited 17,470 Patients prescribed antimicrobials (% total patient records) 5899 (33.7%) Doses prescribed 21,390 Doses omitted (% doses prescribed) 1120 (5.2%) Patients missing one or more doses (% prescribed antimicrobials) 781 (13.2%) Ref: Wright J. 2013
25 Surveillance: Example REASONS RECORDED FOR OMITTED DOSES 12% 12% 3% 29% Left Blank Other reason Drug not available 19% 25% Patient refused Route not available Patient away from ward Ref: Wright J. 2013
26 To outline the support systems required to enable nurses to be successfully involved in AMS programs
27 Leadership commitment Formal statements that the facility supports efforts to improve antimicrobial use are developed. Participation in AMS programs is expected from key groups. Stewardship-related duties are detailed in job descriptions & annual performance reviews Staff are given sufficient time to participate in AMS activities. Ref: CDC 2014
28 Nurses knowledge Australian private hospital Percentage Heard of AMS Willingness to participate in AMS Anaesthetists Pharmacists Physicians Surgeons Nurses (n=105) The Scottish Antimicrobial Prescribing Group identified 21.5% of nurses had heard of AMS.

32 To describe the ICP (nurse) role
33 ACIPC Position Statement AMR is a serious & significant problem. Reducing AMR by prudent & rational antibiotic use is the responsibility of all healthcare workers. ICPs & nursing staff should play a role in AMS programs as part of their role in preventing & containing HAIs & antimicrobial resistant organisms.
34 Infection Control Practitioner Dependent on facility size, type & location. Undertake a feasibility study Identify current perceptions in relation to AMS & nurses role. Assess how the nurses role can be strengthened. Identify other key groups who can support AMS. Work with other key groups To enable appropriate support systems are in place. Influence governance frameworks
35 Infection Control Practitioner Organise educational strategies. Co-ordinate surveillance programs. Advise on IT systems to support surveillance, education & medication management.
36 Education Question (79 nurses) Pre% Post% p value Unable to state what ABs patient is on Able to state the duration the patient will be on ABs Would consider if the AB was required before administering Understands what the switch to oral program is about <.001 Would question an AB order if thought it was inappropriate Have previously questioned an AB order <.001 Use of ABs can aid the development of resistance Ref: Gillespie E et al. 2013
37 ICP: Leadership Pilot study to assess ICP AMS leadership role Three stages (pre, intra & post intervention) ICP responsibilities included Intermediary b/w GP & an off-site ID physician Education of GPs & nurses Surveillance Monitoring of pathology reports Result Significant decrease in total days of antimicrobials prescribed (p<0.0001) Ref: Stuart RL. et al 2014
38 To outline some potential research studies
39 Research Australian nurses knowledge of AMR & AMS. Experience of Australian clinical nurses/ ICPs/ nurse practitioners in AMS. Successful nurse led models of AMS. Perceptions of other key groups regarding nurse s role in AMS.
