How can EHRs support Antimicrobial Stewardship? 🏥
Our study found only 37% of prescriptions included an indication & 75% a duration.

✅ Mandatory indication & duration
✅ Required reasons for urine Cx
✅ Pre-filled indication on order sets

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global health concern. Antibiotics should be used only when necessary.
Supported by CDA, Choosing Wisely Canada developed a toolkit called ‘Taking the Bite Out of Tooth Pain to help dentists determine when antibiotics are appropriate—and when dental treatment or pain relief alone is sufficient.

#IDTwitter @PriyaNori OPEN ACCESS in @ASHE_Journal Five essential lessons in antimicrobial stewardship and leadership I have learned from running- bit.ly/4k1ev3f
🆕 Evaluating BSI in Ontario we found #AMR was associated with a 10% ⬆️ risk of death equivalent to 1.2 deaths/100,000 people/year
These estimates are lower than those in previous literature, which may be due to robust adjustment for confounding
