Tools to Assess Complance with Antimicrobial Stewardship

[Dalrymple, Ruth]

Dear All,

I was wondering if anyone would have a good Audit Tool to access the
compliance of Doctors with the Antimicrobial Stewardship Policy of the
hospital which complies with Standard 3 of the National Standards?

Hi Ruth,

There is a fellow named Rod James who is part of the Guidance MS team in Melbourne who has been involved with point prevalence survey audits (including measures of compliance with guidelines and appropriateness) in public hospitals. They are also part of a research team that is looking at the challenges/opportunities in implementing stewardship programs in private hospitals. They have a presence on the web in terms of contact emails etc.

Competing interests: We have been involved in the audits and use the Guidance MS software but I am not promoting it in any way here.

Hi Cathi

I used to work in a forensic hospital setting in UK and we were classed
as a mental health service, non-acute for IP&C. We had patients working
in kitchens and on the farm, so had quite different IP&C issues both
human to human and animal to human.

Patients occasionally self harmed or sometimes had unprotected sex. Also
we had to be a bit more creative when having to `isolate ` patients on
transmission based precautions. The UK has The Infection Prevention
Society has a mental health group, but they may also have a support for
corrections/prison staff. You can find them at: http://www.ips.uk.net

Hope you get some help with relevant IP&C information.

Regards, Suzy

Hi, could list members please keep me in mind if you come across any
IP&C work / audits / standards / KPI’s/ procedures etc of relevance to
the non-acute setting (eg GP type clinics etc) and especially within the
corrections/ prison environment.

We have a diverse focus (outpatient and inpatient type settings) within
an environment that the health service does not control. Standard
practices are not an easy translation, including the need to work across
2 government agencies that have different focuses.

Happy to hear any / all experiences, thoughts, contacts or work in this
area,

With thanks,

Best Regards,
Cathi
