• Description:
  Local antibiotic resistance prevention collaborative: Healthcare facilities will form Antibiotic Resistance (AR) Prevention Collaboratives, working together to implement best practices for inpatient antibiotic prescribing and preventing infections. By consistently alerting other facilities when transferring a patient, they will be able to reduce spread of resistant infections between separate facilities. ; Facilities in the AR Collaborative report AR findings to the State Department of Public Health. ; Facilities in the AR Collaborative send samples to the AR Regional Lab for confirmation and characterization. ; Lab data from the AR Regional Lab will be used by the State to identify outbreaks, track resistance, and detect new resistance. ; CS246167G
