Today, the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association (CPA) launches a new PPS Short Report & Intervention Guide. It functions as a practical resource designed to help healthcare facilities interpret their Point Prevalence Survey (PPS) results and identify targeted antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) interventions.

The guide is fully compatible with both the Global-PPS and WHO methodologies, making it relevant for institutions worldwide. Throughout the document, the Global-PPS is highlighted as a key surveillance tool for antimicrobial prescribing in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

As partners in this project, Global-PPS reviewed the guide and is pleased to see how it complements the tools we already provide. The document serves as a helpful addition to the real-time feedback reports generated through the Global-PPS platform, aiding in interpreting PPS reports and suggesting relevant interventions to improve antimicrobial use.
