Global-PPS has launched the innovative Outpatient Module to bridge the gap in antimicrobial surveillance for non-admitted patients. Designed for outpatient clinics, primary care centers, and emergency departments, this module provides detailed insights into prescribing patterns, patient characteristics, and antimicrobial use trends.
The third edition of the Portuguese drive-AMS training course recently took place, promoting strategies to support the prescription of antibiotics in eight national hospitals. It’s in line with the objective of the drive-AMS project to create measures in partner hospitals to combat antimicrobial resistance, through promoting behavioural change in prescribing doctors.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing health challenges of our time, threatening to undermine decades of medical progress. In response, the drive-AMS team at Radboud University Medical Center, in close collaboration with bioMérieux, has brought together its extensive experience in a comprehensive guide titled "Antimicrobial Stewardship: A Practical Guide to Implementation in Hospitals."
