It Is Antibiotic Awareness Week!

‌Antibiotic stewardship—the effort to measure and improve how antibiotics are prescribed by clinicians and used by patients—is critical for protecting patients from harm and combating antimicrobial resistance.

To help facilities evaluate their antibiotic stewardship activities, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and global partners have developed the Global Antibiotic Stewardship Evaluation Tool (G-ASET) for Inpatient Healthcare Facilities. This tool helps facilities evaluate their antibiotic stewardship programs, identify major areas for improvement, and track progress over time.
