In July 2015, HHS and CMS proposed the first major rewrite of Conditions of Participation affecting the long-term care industry since 1991. Part of that proposal will require long-term care facilities to adopt antibiotic stewardship programs. Are you ready for an inevitable change?
The CDC, WHO, the White House, and CMS all have sounded dire warnings about the decline of antibiotic effectiveness and the alarming advance of antibiotic-resistant diseases. It’s serious, and we are at a tipping point, but getting ahead of this curve is not as ominous as the problem.
PYA’s infectious disease specialist-led team guides you through the processes that all long-term care facilities must undergo to be in compliance with this impending mandate.
Dr. J. Michael Keegan, infectious disease expert, walks you through practical ASP preparation plans and key factors to help LTCs navigate this important safety initiative.
From this session you will gain:
-
- A stronger grasp of the nature of the antibiotic-resistance problem and its influence on public health and whole communities.
- Insight into the significance of antibiotic resistance for the LTCF sector.
- An understanding of how ASP programs can improve patient care while reducing costs and advancing long-term economic benefit for your facility.
