Antimicrobial Use/Stewardship Assessment Support
Improving patient outcomes and reducing negative events of inappropriate antimicrobial use require strong antimicrobial stewardship programs at healthcare facilities.
To assist facilities in meeting these standards, the DSHS Healthcare Safety Unit developed the Antimicrobial Stewardship Assessment Tool. Texas healthcare facilities can use the free, non-regulatory tool to assess their antimicrobial stewardship program, and comply with regulatory organizations and the CDC.
- Watch this introductory video to learn how the Antimicrobial Use/Stewardship Assessment tool can benefit your antimicrobial stewardship program.
During the assessment:
- Virtual meeting (30-45 min.) to review healthcare facilities’ antimicrobial stewardship program
After the assessment:
