Finding Local Solutions to Emerging Health Challenges

UW CSiM is a collaborative tackling today's stewardship challenges in rural medicine. Join us!

ASB 201

Description


201 goal:

  • Stop use of ceftaroline (Teflaro)
    • Get data for this specifically
  • Will look at provider level data
  • Do more education

Core Elements

Education

Educating clinicians about resistance and optimal prescribing.

PDSA Cycles


Progress on PDSA Cycle 3

Review and update urine reflex policy

Brought up in a meeting to get input

  • Open to idea of ordering less by lower threshold for reflex
  • Not willing to stop reflex due to fear of missing diagnosis given older population
  • Share link to pro con debate on urine reflex with providers

Progress on PDSA Cycle 1

Facility updates

  • Went from 10% to 70% compliance for antibiotic stewardship
  • Hospitalist not following order set, push back
  • Antibiotic days of therapy have been coming down
  • Have CPSI, very hard to pull data
    • Reach out to IT to know how to get data for ceftaroline
  • Ask hospitalists about joining sessions – TASP, ASB 201
  • QI person plans to submit NHSN AU data
  • Question for TASP: How do you obtain data? What data are you pulling? – trying to get data on antibiotic use, what are ideas

 

Goals from first check-in

1. Submit cases

– Figured out how to pull cultures and urinanalysis (volume higher)

– Will try to submit more cases

2. Ask hospitalists about joining sessions – TASP, ASB 201

– Hospitalist cannot join, quality person will try to join

3. How to get AUR data from EMR (asked during TASP)

– Asked during TASP


Your organization has completed the following PDSA cycles. Click a heading to view a cycle's details.

Lower Ceftaroline use

 

Figured out how to run report from CPSI

– Donney asking ER to not use ceftaroline, use order sets

Ceftaroline 20 doses a month to 8 doses a month this year

– Following order sets more now

Bring up to quality, hospitalist, infection prevention about improvements over time

– Tracking utilization of tools in place (share rate)

Next step: skin structure discussion – might share TASP pocketguide protocol
