• Description:
  The antibiotic stewardship program assessment tool is a companion to Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs. This tool provides examples of ways to implement the Core Elements. The Core Elements are intended to be an adaptable framework that hospitals can use to guide efforts to optimize antibiotic prescribing. Thus, not all of the examples listed in the Core Elements (and below) may be necessary and/or feasible in all hospitals. ; The assessment tool can be used on a periodic basis (e.g., annually) to document current program infrastructure and activities and to help identify items that could improve the effectiveness of the stewardship program. Consider listing specific details, such as points of contacts or facility-specific guidelines with the date, in the "comments" column as reference for the antibiotic stewardship team. ; Publication date from document properties. ; assessment-tool-P.pdf
