Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on a review of facility documentation, facility policies and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain an effective antibiotic stewardship program that includes a system that includes antibiotic use protocols and a system to effectively monitor antibiotic usage for five of five months of antibiotic stewardship program data reviewed. (February 2024, March 2024, April 2024, May 2024 and June 2024).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings Include: Review of facility policy Antibiotic Stewardship dated December 2016 , revealed that Antibiotics will be prescribed and administered to residents under the guidance of the facility's antibiotic stewardship program. Further review of facility policy and protocol revealed that the facility policy did not include a system that includes antibiotic use protocols. A review of CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines, The core element of Antibiotic Stewardship for Nursing Homes, revealed that Improving the use of antibiotics in healthcare to protect patients and reduce the threat of antibiotic resistance is a national priority. 1. Antibiotic stewardship refers to a set of commitments and actions designed to optimize the treatment of infections while reducing the adverse events associated with antibiotic use.2 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all acute care hospitals implement an antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) and outlined the seven core elements which are necessary for implementing successful ASPs.2 CDC also recommends that all nursing homes take steps to improve antibiotic prescribing practices and reduce inappropriate use. Nursing homes monitor both antibiotic use practices and outcomes related to antibiotics in order to guide practice changes and track the impact of new interventions. Data on adherence to antibiotic prescribing policies and antibiotic use are shared with clinicians and nurses to maintain awareness about the progress being made in antibiotic stewardship. Clinician response to antibiotic use feedback (e.g., acceptance) may help determine whether feedback is effective in changing prescribing behaviors. Integrate the dispensing and consultant pharmacists into the clinical care team as key partners in supporting antibiotic stewardship in nursing homes. Pharmacists can provide assistance in ensuring antibiotics are ordered appropriately, reviewing culture data, and developing antibiotic monitoring and infection management guidance in collaboration with nursing and clinical leaders. Identify clinical situations which may be driving inappropriate courses of antibiotics such as asymptomatic bacteriuria or urinary tract infection prophylaxis and implement specific interventions to improve use Perform reviews on resident medical records for new antibiotic starts to determine whether the clinical assessment, prescription documentation and antibiotic selection were in accordance with facility antibiotic use policies and practices. When conducted over time, monitoring process measures can assess whether antibiotic prescribing policies are being followed by staff and clinicians. Track the amount of antibiotic used in your nursing home to review patterns of use and determine

the impact of new stewardship interventions. Some antibiotic use measures (e.g., prevalence surveys) provide a snap-shot of information; while others, like nursing home initiated antibiotic starts and days of therapy (DOT) are calculated and tracked on an ongoing basis. Selecting which antibiotic use measure to track should be based on the type of practice intervention being implemented. Interventions designed to shorten the duration of antibiotic courses, or discontinue antibiotics based on post-prescription review (i.e., antibiotic time-out), may not necessarily change the rate of antibiotic starts, but would decrease the antibiotic DOT. Review of facility documentation from the month of February 2024 revealed that the facility had a total of 17 antibiotic orders. All 17 of those orders did not have any symptoms documented on the facility infection surveillance tool. It was also revealed that the surveillance tool did not contain a stop date, total days of therapy, outcome and adverse events. There was no antibiotic review completed to determine the appropriateness of the antibiotic usage.

There was no antibiotic review completed to determine the appropriateness of the antibiotic usage. Review of facility documentation from the month of April 2024 revealed that the facility had a total of 21 antibiotic orders. All 21 of those orders did not have any symptoms documented on the facility infection surveillance tool. It was also revealed that the surveillance tool did not contain, outcome and adverse events.
