1 Successful Antibiotic Stewardship Byron Health Center & GrandView Pharmacy Learning Objectives Understand the core requirements of an antibiotic stewardship program as defined by the CMS Requirements of Participation, AKA the "Mega Rule. Reflect on the challenges and successes of a fully implemented antibiotic stewardship program. Discuss the implementation of a successful antibiotic stewardship program in a variety of patient care settings. 1

2 What is required, and when? Effective November 28, 2017 (1) A system for preventing, identifying, reporting, investigating, and controlling infections and communicable diseases (2) Written standards, policies, and procedures for the program, including a. A surveillance system b. Reporting (to whom, and when) c. Transmission based precautions d. Resident isolation protocols e. Employee isolation protocols f. Hand hygiene procedures Requirements continued (3) An antibiotic stewardship program that includes antibiotic use protocols and a system to monitor antibiotic use. (4) A system for recording incidents identified under the facility s Infection Prevention Control Plan (IPCP) and the corrective actions taken by the facility. 2

3 Future Requirements Effective November 28, 2019: The facility must designate one or more individual(s) as the infection preventionist(s) (IPs) who are responsible for the facility's IPCP. The IP must: (1) Have primary professional training in nursing, medical technology, microbiology, epidemiology, or other related field (2) Be qualified by education, training, experience or certification (3) Work at least part time at the facility and (4) Have completed specialized training in infection prevention and control. Future Requirements, continued The individual designated as the IP, or at least one of the individuals if there is more than one IP, must be a member of the facility's quality assessment and assurance committee and report to the committee on the IPCP on a regular basis. 3

5 Implementation Plan continued Action Step Community sets the expectation that a change in a resident s condition is consistently documented ly Action Step Diagnostic testing results, including microbiology, are accessible in a timely manner for clinical decision making and infection surveillance ly Action Step All licensed providers, in the community, follow clinical practice guidelines for infection management ly Action Step Measure antimicrobial use ly, and yearly Case Study: Byron Health Center Patient Population Characteristics: Approximately 100 Residents Median age ~ 65 years Age Range years 55% Male, 45% Female High variability in independence High prevalence of psychological disease Located in Fort Wayne, Indiana 5

9 Some tough questions... 1 The program was initiated in January Cost of therapy numbers had been decreasing before this. Why was this? Can you still say that the program was successful? A Violet s Form. B Yes. 2 Cost of therapy appears to have declined, but days of therapy remained about the same. Did we really reduce incidence of infection? Or did we just start using less expensive therapies? Potentially both. There are too many factors and variables to hold constant. What was truly accomplished? 1 Protocols for identifying infection were integrated through nursing staff. 2 Protocols for initiating non pharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment were integrated with nursing, medical staff. 3 Appropriate treatment options were reviewed with medical staff. 9

10 Implementation in your setting 1 Approach and process and implementation may be similar between communities 2 Individualized approaches for residents will vary 3 Education of nurses and prescribers will vary Be prepared to improvise! Take Home Points The primary goal of an antibiotic stewardship program is increased judiciousness in identifying and treating infection. Even a great antimicrobial stewardship program may see increases in incidence of infection and costs. The best way to ensure success is to get staff to buy in. 10
