Antimicrobial stewardship - establishing effective programs for Australian hospitals

该项目将研究改善澳大利亚医院抗菌药物使用的策略。它将评估抗菌素管理计划对维多利亚三级医院抗生素处方实践的影响，并确定与成功相关的组织因素。它还将审查需求，并在私立医院、小城市医院和乡村医院建立超越三级医院环境的抗微生物管理模式。

This project will examine strategies to improve the use of antimicrobial drugs in Australian hospitals. It will evaluate the impact of antimicrobial stewardship programs on antibiotic prescribing practices in Victorian tertiary hospitals and determine the organisational factors associated with success. It will also examine the needs, and establish models for antimicrobial stewardship beyond the tertiary hospital setting, in private hospitals, small metropolitan and rural hospitals.
