  • information and tools available from the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA)
  • from SHEA
  • on antimicrobial stewardship and resistance from the Infectious Diseases Society of America

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research are two of several agencies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services charged with leading national efforts on antimicrobial use and resistance. Their websites provide a wealth of resources and information, including:

  • – A June 2022 report on the COVID-19 pandemic’s negative effect on antibiotic resistance
  • (2019) define structural and procedural components that are associated with successful stewardship programs. The site also includes resources tailored for , settings, , and facilities.
    • The National Quality Forum‘s (2016, free download) provides real-world ideas for application of the CDC’s Core Elements of Antibiotic Stewardship.
  • includes the latest national death and infection estimates that underscore the continued threat of antibiotic resistance in the U.S.
  • 颁顿颁鈥檚 (free with account creation; C.E. available) is a nine-module, interactive, web-based training designed to help clinicians optimize antibiotic use to combat antibiotic resistance and improve healthcare quality and patient safety.
  • Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality鈥檚 Safety Program for Improving Antibiotic Use, now completed, supported clinicians apply the (CUSP) method to improve antibiotic stewardship by selecting the optimal antibiotic regimens, routes of administration, and durations.
  • The AHRQ developed an Antibiotic Stewardship for acute care hospitals (2019), with additional toolkits in development for long-term care and ambulatory care practices (2022).
  • Antibiotic Resistance & Patient Safety (formerly the Patient Safety Portal) allows users to explore and visual data on antibiotic resistance and healthcare-associated infections
  • 颁顿颁鈥檚 National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) publishes from its data on topics such as antimicrobial use and resistance, including antimicrobial-resistance pathogens associated with healthcare-associated infections
  • : 黑料网 Hospitals’ Department of Infection Prevention collects and analyzes healthcare-associated infection data and process measures for compliance with evidence-based infection prevention practices. The interactive Tableau dashboards are updated monthly and allow customizable search features.
