September 2024
Objective: The primary objective was to grade the potential impact of antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) interventions on patient safety at a single center using a newly developed scoring tool, the Antimicrobial Stewardship Impact Scoring Tool (ASIST).
Design: Retrospective descriptive study.
Setting: A 367-bed free-standing, pediatric academic medical center.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical impact and features associated with repeat tracheal aspirate (TA) cultures in children admitted to the intensive care unit.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: A 338-bed freestanding, tertiary pediatric academic medical center with pediatric medical intensive care unit (PICU) and cardiac intensive care units (CICU).
Stewardship 2.0: Embracing elements of implementation science to enhance everyday antimicrobial Stewardship efforts.
Antimicrob Steward Healthc Epidemiol
September 2023
This article explores the utility of implementation science (IS) as a method to promote the effective uptake of antimicrobial stewardship processes. Elements of IS can be readily incorporated into QI work and used as a platform to extend stewardship reach. As stewards are stretched to do more, IS can be a potential vehicle to ensure that our collective work is impactful, sustainable, and contributes more broadly to clinically relevant improvements.
