According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year at least two million Americans become infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and 23,000 of those afflicted die. Led by infectious disease specialist J. Michael Keegan, MD, this webinar offers providers, physicians, long-term care facilities, hospitals, clinically integrated networks, and others a thorough breakdown of the antibiotic resistance crisis—the problem, the cause, the regulatory environment, the disconnect, and the core elements of an antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) per the CDC. Additionally, the webinar makes an excellent case for establishing and implementing ASPs to bring about the necessary clinical changes required to attain the desired outcomes and for reversing the incidence of drug-resistant bacteria.
