Antibiotics revolutionized modern medicine, transforming the treatment of bacterial infections and saving countless lives. However, their misuse and overuse have led to a rise in antibiotic resistance, rendering once-effective drugs ineffective. In this Chronicle, we delve into the concept of antibiotic stewardship and why it is crucial for preserving the efficacy of these essential medications.
Antibiotic stewardship refers to a coordinated effort to optimize the use of antibiotics in healthcare settings. It involves a set of strategies and practices aimed at promoting appropriate prescribing, minimizing unnecessary use, and combating antibiotic resistance. The goal of antibiotic stewardship programs is to ensure that antibiotics are used judiciously, preserving their effectiveness for future generations.
Why is Antibiotic Stewardship Important?
Listen in to Grand River Health physicians Dr. Feeney and CMO, Dr. Kevin Coleman for a great conversation about our Antibiotic Stewardship Program, Evidence-Based medicine and why it’s so important to our patients and community. Dr. Coleman and Dr. Feeney share their passion for continued education on the topic and the value of partnership between provider and patient.
