Introduce new standard of antibiotic stewardship Requirements of the program include: involving all staff and includes patients and families is based on scientific evidence proper use of prophylactic antibiotics oversight of the program monitoring the effectiveness of the program 11
What is antibiotic stewardship? Antibiotic stewardship refers to the optimal selection, dosage, and duration of antimicrobial treatment that results in the best clinical outcome for the treatment or prevention of infection, with minimal toxicity to the patient and minimal impact on subsequent resistance. (Antimicrobial Stewardship, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, Shira Doron, MD. And Lisa E. Davidson, MD.) According to US CDC, drug-resistance bacteria cause 23,000 deaths and 2 million illness each year. Some estimate that more than 700,000 deaths occur worldwide per year due to antibiotic resistance. การใช ยา Antibiotics อย างเหมาะสมท งชน ด ขนาดและระยะเวลาในการให ยา โดยม ระบบและ มาตรการต างๆ เพ อสน บสน นการใช ยาอย างสมเหต สมผล เช น การประเม นการใช ยา, การจ าก ดต าร บยาของรพ., การขออน ม ต ก อนการใช ยา (pre-authorization), การสร างและใช แนวทางเวชปฏ บ ต (Clinical Practice Guideline) (ภก.ส จจา ศ ภรพ นธ, งานเภส ชกรรมผ ป วยใน รพ.ศ ร ราช) 12
US CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) Core Elements Top leadership: dedicate resources, financial, staff time; training and education, information technology Accountability: Appoint a single Physician leader for the program (Inf. Dis., Hospitalist). Add this to job description Drug Expertise: Appoint a single Pharmacy leader responsible for improving Abx use. Add this to job description Expand Pharmacy Committee oversight Other key staff: Infection Control, Lab, Nurses (frontline), Dept.Leaders, Quality Program staff, IT staff 13
US CDC Core Elements Tracking: monitor and measure Abx prescribing patterns, and drug resistance patterns Reporting: regular reporting to Physicians and Nurses of overall use and resistance Education: reinforce teaching of optimal prescribing with clinicians; increase motivation like with AMI and CHF Action: Implement at least one recommended action at a time 14
MMU.1.1 Survey Expectations Hospital develops and implements a program; involves key staff, patients, and families Program based on CPGs and laws/regulations Program includes proper use of Abx., including prophylaxis Mechanism for oversight : small work group, a coordinating committee, a task force Effectiveness monitored (data collected, analyzed and used) 15
MMU.1.1 Survey Expectations Implement the program formally; top leadership support Start small and expand; use data to guide when possible Some specifics are largely up to you and your organization Who is responsible and overseeing? Sample tools Measures with data to evaluate effectiveness Short-term evaluate compliance: evidence of a decrease in the inappropriate use of antibiotics, documentation that prescribers are following accepted practice guidelines. audits with feedback; tie to SQE Long term might consider evaluate resistance, CDI (Clostridium difficile Infections) cases, decreased LOS 16

MMU.3 Storage MMU.3 Medications are properly and safely stored. 22
Storage Inside Pharmacy room Out of Pharmacy room 23
High Alert Medication Specific storage of high alert medications is uniform throughout the hospital. No high concentrated medication/solution kept in patient care unit 24
Storage Area Inspection % compliance to checklist Inspect 67 areas outside Pharmacy 25
MMU.3 Storage MMU.3.1 There is a process for the management of medications and nutritional products that require special handling. Radioactive safety risk Brought in medication identification and storage Sample medication - abuse or misuse Breast milk proper labeling and storage Surveyor Tips New language, but concepts were here before for labeling Need policies, then document tracking these required items for these special medications and products Problem areas: breast milk, meds brought in from home, and samples 26
MMU.3 Storage MMU.3.2 Emergency medications are available, uniformly stored, monitored, and secure when stored out of the pharmacy. Example: In each emergency cart, the emergency medications are in the same drawer and laid out in the same manner within the drawer of each cart. Storage of medications in pediatric emergency carts is different from adult carts; however the medications are stored uniformly within each type of cart. Surveyor Tips Store emergency meds exactly the same way All adult carts the same; all pediatrics the same Arrangement and location of meds; labeling of compartments; high alert or LASA??; required numbers Checklists daily? Security of carts/locks Tracking break-away locks: where stored, numbers, log How are meds replaced? How often is there a routine check if cart not opened? 27
MMU.3 Storage MMU.3.3 The hospital has a medication recall system. Expired = expire date on original packaging from manufacturer Outdated = when it is opened, how long it is safe and effective to use for a short period of time (shelf life) Ex. Insulin 30 days after open. Surveyor Tips Have any recall data to show us How determined the safe timeframe for outdated meds? Multidose vials, nitro, pills open in a bottle? Not those in individual blister packs and watch the lot numbers and expiry dates on these packs Do you destroy or return expired or outdated meds? 28
