The Challenges and Innovations in Antimicrobial Stewardship
Utilizing antimicrobial stewardship (AS) to properly use antibiotics is critical for all healthcare settings to decrease antibiotic resistance, reduce the development of multidrug-resistant organisms, and put the patient first. While AS is not a new topic, it is certainly a hot topic among healthcare professionals. This podcast series aims to provide information around an array of topics related to antimicrobial stewardship, including stewardship in ambulatory and ED settings, diagnostic stewardship, tele-stewardship, and how the influence of COVID-19 on AS.
