7 Ground Rules 13 We learn from one another All teach, all learn Why reinvent the wheel? Steal shamelessly This is a transparent learning environment Share Openly All ideas/feedback are welcome and encouraged! Overall Program Aim 14 The Expedition will provide insights from the hospitalist-led antibiotic stewardship initiative in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that incorporated specific interventions to improve antibiotic use into the process of patient care, such as an "antibiotic timeout" to facilitate/prompt de-escalation or discontinuation of antibiotics through review of AB, dose, indication and expected duration. 7
8 Expedition Objectives 15 At the end of this Expedition, participants will be able to: Describe the impact of overuse and misuse of antibiotics on costs of care, antimicrobial resistance and patient complications, including Clostridium difficile. Establish a multidisciplinary focus to embed antibiotic stewardship into the process of care. Identify and begin improving at least one key process to optimize antibiotic selection, dose, and duration of antibiotics in the patient care setting.

A driving theme in Dr. Pollack s diverse public health career is the translation and dissemination of research into practical guidance and tools improve health and health care. 13
14 Antimicrobial Stewardship- Why We Must How We Can CAPT Arjun Srinivasan, MD Associate Director for Healthcare Associated Infection Prevention Programs Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion Why the Imperative for Stewardship? Antibiotic overuse and misuse is fueling major threats to patient safety: Antibiotic resistance Clostridium difficile Adverse drug reactions When patients get antibiotics they don t need they are exposed to totally preventable risks for bad outcomes. 14
15 Why the Imperative for Stewardship? There is huge room for improvement in the way we use antibiotics. Recent CDC Vital Signs report showed that nearly 40% of hospital prescriptions for UTI and vancomycin were potentially inappropriate (no cultures done, given too long). That number is very consistent with many other studies over many years. Why the Imperative for Stewardship? There is huge room for improvement in the way we use antibiotics. Vital Signs report also found that overall antibiotic use on medical-surgical wards at different hospitals varied by 300%. Even more variation in the use of some agents. 15
16 Why the Imperative for Stewardship? It Works! Published data demonstrate that improving antibiotic use can: Improve infection cure rates Reduce C. difficile rates Reduce antibiotic resistance Improve antibiotic dosing Save money Recommendations for Antibiotic Stewardship Programs CDC recommends that all hospitals implement an antibiotic stewardship program. American Hospital Association also recommends antibiotic stewardship programs as a Top 5 intervention for hospitals. 16
17 How Do We Make It Happen? Hospitals don t all look the same, and neither do stewardship programs. There must be flexibility in how programs are implemented. But, there are certain key elements that have been strongly associated with success. Core Elements for Antibiotic Stewardship Programs Leadership commitment from administration Single leader responsible for outcomes Single pharmacy leader Specific improvement interventions Antibiotic use tracking Regular reporting on antibiotic use and resistance Educating providers on use and resistance 17
18 Core Elements for Antibiotic Stewardship Programs CDC has posted details on these core elements, including some specific tips on how to implement them in: Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs mentation/core-elements.html Checklist CDC has also developed an assessment tool or checklist that facilities can use to assess implementation of the core elements. Assessment tool can help identify areas for potential improvement. 18
19 Some is not a number. Soon is not a time. We need to get specific with stewardship. We need all hospitals to implement antibiotic stewardship programs that incorporate the core elements that have proven to be key to success. We know a lot about what needs to be done and how to do it. We need to do it, now. Questions? 38 Raise your hand Use the Chat 19
20 Engaging Frontline Providers Scott Flanders, MD Why Frontline Providers? 40 Stewardship team often has limited reach Top-down initiatives important, but only step 1 Formulary restriction Data Monitoring Many practices needing change are hard to spot from behind the front Treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria Prolonged treatment duration Not everyone has a stewardship program 20
21 Who to Engage? 41 Groups where culture drives practice Surgical ICU Urology Orthopedic surgery, etc. Non-physician team members PAs, NPs, nursing, clerical assistants Patients Infection prevention (hand hygiene, device use) Indication, duration HOSPITALISTS Why Engage Hospitalists? 42 In the U.S., numbers of hospitalists are growing > 35,000 Many hospitals have hospitalist programs 2/3 of U.S. hospitals (over 90% if beds > 500) In 2006 nearly 50% of all U.S. non-surgical Medicare discharges were cared for by hospitalists Increasingly taking the lead on QI work They understand systems redesign 21
22 Hospitalists and Antimicrobial Stewardship 43 Antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic complications (C.difficile) hit home Templates, guidelines and checklists are commonplace in hospital medicine Hospitalists must tackle issues with signouts, handoffs, and care transitions Dr X comfortable stopping the drug Dr Y started There often isn t anyone else to do this?! What the #! Are Doctors Doing? 44 Antibiotic Use in U.S. Hospitals 56% of hospitalized patients received antibiotics 37% of use for urinary tract infection and Vancomycin use could be improved Three-fold variability in use between similar hospital wards High variability in use for broad spectrum antibiotics Fridkin S, et al. MMWR,
23 Drivers of Escalating Use 45 Hospitalized patients are ill Co-morbid conditions Immunosuppressed The revolving door of the hospital 25% readmitted at 30 days Skilled nursing facilities Home IV antibiotics Healthcare associated infections Drivers of Escalating Use 46 Discontinuities in care Within the hospital (ED-floor, ICU-floor) Within physician groups Admitters / Rounders Night coverage 5 days on, 5 days off Teaching hospitals: 80 hours / week, days off They must have wanted the Meropenem for a good reason 23
24 Drivers of Escalating Use 47 Performance indicators CAP Antibiotics in 6 hours Value based purchasing (it matters!) Early APPROPRIATE empiric antibiotics Improves mortality Sepsis, VAP, HCAP, etc. Hit it hard, hit it early! Current Challenges 48 What is not happening reliably? Allergy assessment Review of prior culture results / antibiograms Antibiotic restraint Double anaerobic coverage Treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria Treatment of colonizing organisms Re-consideration of the diagnosis Narrowing coverage at hours Treating for an appropriate duration 24
25 Misperceptions 49 They don t care about this stuff They already know all this stuff and choose not to do the right thing They are too busy They do not want to be bothered They have more important problems they are working on The Chagrin Factor 50 25
26 The Chagrin Factor 51 A physician is seeing a patient whose clinical picture and culture results could represent infection. Which outcome would a physician most like to avoid? The Chagrin Factor 52 A) Antibiotics are withheld. The patient develops sepsis, shock, and requires transfer to the ICU B) Antibiotics are given. The patient does well, but develops a rash, and C. difficile requiring metronidazole 26
27 Where Do We Start? 53 Find a frontline provider champion Try tackling one issue with one provider Focus on common conditions UTI, CAP, Skin / Soft Tissue Infections These 3 drive 50% of all antibiotic use Start with de-escalation opportunities Think about how to build changes into processes of care Then expand Driving Appropriate Use 54 Barriers identified in CDC/IHI Pilot Testing Real-world issues Large / multiple groups make communication difficult Poor continuity / hand-offs Nurses are overwhelmed High patient loads Another!#$#% QI project? IT / CPOE Time / ability to collect data 27
28 Driving Appropriate Use 55 Navigating Barriers Demonstrate the need to improve Even a sample of 10 charts can tell a story Many providers like the help Order sets / protocols help Start small (sometimes very small) Ask for feedback, de-brief after interventions Share / celebrate successes Bottom Line 56 We have big problems with antibiotic use in U.S. hospitals Drivers of use are complex Stewardship programs are critical.. But frontline providers are key to widespread success Barriers to engagement are surmountable We need to act now 28
29 Questions? 57 Raise your hand Use the Chat Model for Improvement What are we trying to accomplish? How will we know that a change is an improvement? What change can we make that will result in improvement? Aim of Improvement Measurement of Improvement Developing a Change Act Study Plan Do Testing a Change Adapted from Langley, G. J., Nolan, K.
