3. CDC: PREVENT ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched a major educational campaign aimed at clinicians. Called “Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance,” the campaign provides clinicians with concrete action steps based on CDC guidelines and other research.

The campaign centers around four key strategies for preventing antimicrobial resistance in healthcare settings: 1) preventing infection, 2) diagnosing and treating infection effectively, 3) using antimicrobial wisely, and 4) preventing transmission of drug-resistant pathogens. Within these strategies are 12 specific action steps derived from evidenced-based guidelines and recommendations such as, “Get the catheters out” and “Know when to say ‘No’ to vanco(mycin).” You can also get slide shows, posters, and other items off the site. To learn more about the program, visit:
