The Role of Antimicrobial Stewardship in the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory: Stepping Up to the Plate. (21st September 2016) - MacVane, Shawn H.
Abstract: We report the development of a collaborative relationship between antimicrobial stewardship and clinical microbiology that incorporates stewardship practices into daily laboratory rounds. Antimicrobial stewardship involvement on rounds was a welcomed and effective initiative with substantial rates of intervention. New opportunities to positively impact use of antimicrobials and laboratory resources were realized.
