Supporting safer use of antimicrobials with data-driven stewardship
STORY OF EXCELLENCE
Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is essential to safeguard the effectiveness of antimicrobial medicines. Beyond annual point prevalence surveys, the Canberra Health Services AMS team decided they needed more detail, more often. After implementing monthly audits, the team could monitor the impact of new initiatives such as verifying antibiotic allergies and real-time prompts for guideline-recommended prescribing.
The 10th Anniversary Clinical Care Standards Excellence Awards were announced in July 2025.
