As organism resistance increases and treatment options become limited, providers need to be aware how effectively and appropriately use antimicrobials. This presentation will explore how Infection Prevention and Control departments can partner with Pharmacy, Patient Safety, Risk, and Quality departments to create effective antimicrobial stewardship initiatives.

As well, the webinar will highlight antimicrobial stewardship as a priority in healthcare organizations and will review the components of building an antimicrobial stewardship program.
