Description
7/20/2022: Met with TASP Faculty to review CDC AMS Assessment and set goals (see session notes under resources “Syringa notes”)
Goals:
- Develop skin and soft tissue focus in future and include staph aureus
- Patient safety interventions: necessity, duration, labs
- Check if using right indication for antibiotic prescriptions – look at trends
- From CDC AMS assessment #7 on page 4, have pharmacist talk about antibiotic decision on day 2/3
- Develop time-out process
- Improve UTI and pneumonia tracking
- Given the external pharmacy, discharge is important so it could be useful to check inpatient vs outpatient describing practices
- Focus on upper respiratory tract infection now
