The Hospital Antimicrobial Use Process: From Beginning to End

Abstract: Hospital antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs are responsible for ensuring that all antimicrobials are utilized in the most appropriate and safe manner to improve patient outcomes, prevent adverse drug reactions, and prevent the development of antimicrobial resistance. This Perspectives article outlines the hospital antimicrobial use process (AUP), the foundational system that ensures that all antimicrobials are utilized in the most appropriate and safe manner. The AUP consists of the following steps: anti… Show more

“…41,42 Given reduced antibiotic stewardship oversight, poor discharge documentation, and frequent empirical and broad-spectrum prescribing practices, antibiotic prescribing on discharge to NH is associated with adverse events, including rehospitalization and CDI. [41][42][43][44] Alongside the large proportion of patients receiving a hospitalassociated prescriptions, nearly one-fifth of enrolled patients received an NH-associated prescription for a new indication during their NH stay, predominantly for UTIs. Previous research demonstrated that NH antibiotic prescribing is often inappropriate, with some estimates surpassing 50%, particularly due to inappropriate urine culturing and treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria.…”

“…Entre especialistas, é aceito que este seja o uso otimizado de antimicrobiano, a prescrição do antimicrobiano correto, na dose e intervalo entre doses apropriada às funções orgânicas do paciente, pelo tempo de terapia correta e via de administração melhor selecionada, de maneira a prevenir reações adversas às drogas e prevenir a ocorrência de bactérias multirresistentes (25). Dentre os objetivos de um programa de uso racional de antimicrobianos estão: a otimização de custos, a prevenção de efeitos adversos relacionados ao uso indiscriminado e a prevenção de bactérias resistentes (3).…”

“…No tocante à assistência farmacêutica inserido num ambiente hospitalar, o uso de antimicrobianos envolve etapas que incluem a prescrição, a checagem da prescrição, a preparação e distribuição de medicamentos, a administração, o monitoramento e se necessário os cuidados pós-alta. Tais ações são desenvolvidas por uma equipe de médicos, farmacêuticos, técnicos de farmácia, enfermeiros, técnicos de enfermagem e microbiologistas (25).…”
