Is antibiotic misuse promoting the spread of MDROs and increasing costs at your hospital?
Dr. Anderson admitted an elderly nursing home patient to your hospital with pneumonia. He ordered blood cultures and an antibiotic (moxifloxacin), which the patient began three hours after admission. In spite of the antibiotic, the patients condition worsened. The microbiology reports were returned the next day and showed that the blood cultures were growing Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to moxifloxacin but susceptible to imipenem.
Is antibiotic misuse promoting the spread of MDROs and increasing costs at your hospital?
Dr. Anderson changed the antibiotic to imipenem as soon as the test results became available. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) where she worsened and required mechanical ventilation. She spent two weeks in the ICU before being transferred to the internal medicine service.

Is antibiotic misuse promoting the spread of MDROs and increasing costs at your hospital?
The patient was finally transferred back to her nursing home after a 24-day hospital stay. The total cost of her admission was more than $100,000. Dr. Anderson later learned that nearly all of the patients admitted from that particular nursing home with infection ended up requiring treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics because of a high frequency of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). Are you sure that antibiotics are used judiciously at your hospital?
Objectives
To describe the role of antibiotic abuse and misuse in the spread of MDROs in hospitals To describe the structure and functions of an effective antibiotic stewardship program.

To provide an introduction to the costs and potential savings associated with an effective stewardship program
Broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are most commonly prescribed in the hospital, are especially associated with the selection of MDRO In the hospital setting, it has been estimated that up to one-half of antibiotic use is unnecessary

Expenditures for drug classes used to treat resistant organisms greatly increased from 2004 to 2007 In contrast, expenditures for older drug classes (eg, penicillins, fluoroquinolones) decreased over the same period

ASP costs mostly driven by salaries and support for ASP leaders and participants
Consider 0.5 FTE for a physician and 1.5 FTE for pharmacists
Hospital pharmacy budget may provide information about potential cost savings
Antibiotic drugs should make up no more than 18% of the total pharmacy budget

Competency Questions
It is difficult for prescribers to keep up with the latest new drug agents and trends in antimicrobial resistance
Knowledge can really be power when it comes to MDRO prevention!
ASP Competency Questions can be readily adapted to any teaching format or forum currently employed for prescribers at your hospital ASP Competency Questions offer the opportunity to tailor the message and really help our colleagues understand that MDRO control IS their job.
