Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is crucial for informed antibiotic prescribing and infection control, yet many systems lack comprehensive patient data, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
- The ACORN II initiative builds on the WHO's surveillance framework to focus on healthcare-related infections, aiming to create effective, routine surveillance systems that capture critical patient information.
- The project emphasizes improving local antibiotic practices through streamlined data collection and the use of an R Shiny application for analytics, enhancing overall clinical decision-making and infection control policies.
