Antimicrobial Stewardship Services for Hospitals and Aged Care
Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) is a key requirement of Australian Hospital and Aged Care quality Standards.
We provide tailored AMS solutions for hospitals and aged care facilities, focusing on best practices that promote patient safety while maintaining the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments.
Our services include:
AMS Program Development and Implementation: We help develop and implement robust AMS programs that align with national guidelines and best practices, ensuring your facility is equipped to manage antimicrobial use effectively.
Audit and Review Services: Our team conducts regular audits of antimicrobial usage, prescribing practices, and infection management protocols. We review your current processes to identify areas for improvement and ensure adherence to AMS guidelines.
Education and Training: We offer specialised AMS training for hospital and aged care staff, helping them understand the principles of antimicrobial stewardship and empowering them to make informed decisions in patient care.
Policy Review and Development: We assist in the development and review of your infection prevention policies, ensuring they reflect the latest evidence-based practices and regulatory requirements.
Clinical Support and Advice: Our experienced consultants provide ongoing clinical support, offering expert advice on antimicrobial prescribing, infection control, and patient management to improve clinical outcomes.
Data Analysis and Reporting: We provide in-depth analysis and reporting on antimicrobial use, resistance trends, and the effectiveness of your AMS program, helping you make data-driven decisions to optimise treatment practices.
Aged Care Focused AMS Solutions: In aged care facilities, where antimicrobial use is particularly sensitive, we offer AMS strategies that address the unique needs of elderly patients and reduce the risk of overuse or inappropriate prescriptions.
