Upcoming Webinars To Encourage Hospital Participation in Antibiotic Stewardship Project

Registration is open for webinars on Oct. 17 and Nov. 9, both from 3 to 4 p.m. ET, to highlight how hospitals can join a national project to reduce harms related to inappropriate use of antibiotics while preserving antibiotics’ effectiveness for future generations. The 12-month project, offered at no charge to hospitals, will begin in December. Participating hospitals will receive antibiotic-use guidelines for several infectious disease syndromes, expert coaching, online education, improvement tools, patient education materials and other resources to help run an effective antibiotic stewardship program. Using AHRQ’s Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program, hospitals will also address the cultural, organizational and behavioral factors that underlie antibiotic ordering habits.
