Objectives
1) Describe the importance of antimicrobial
stewardship in this era of multi-drug
resistant pathogens.
2) Identify key data elements for building
tools and reports for antimicrobial
stewardship programs.
3) Demonstrate a query approach for
creating an antimicrobial usage metric
report.
What is ABX Stewardship?
 Definition: Optimal selection, dosage, and
duration of antimicrobial treatment that
results in the best clinical outcome for the
treatment or prevention of infection, with
minimal toxicity to the patient and minimal
impact on subsequent resistance
 A multi-faceted approach to influence
antimicrobial prescribing, institution-wide to
improve outcomes, prevent resistance and
minimize excessive costs

How did we get here?
• 50% of use in hospitals is inappropriate
• Antibiotic misuse adversely impacts patients
– Antibiotic exposure is the single most important risk
factor for the development of Clostridium difficile
associated disease (CDAD).
– Getting an antibiotic increases a patient’s chance of
becoming colonized or infected with a resistant
organism.

Improving antibiotic use is a
public health imperative
•

•
Using antibiotics properly is analogous to
developing and maintaining good roads
Bringing new antibiotics into our current
environment is akin to buying a new car because
you hit a pot hole, but doing nothing to fix the road.
Fixing the “antibiotic use road” is part of the mission
of public health.
SNAPSHOT OF
VA ABX Stewardship Programs
• Many of the facilities have active stewardship
programs
• Most do not have an electronic tool to aid them
in stewardship activities
• Field requests….
– Reports for positive microbiology results
– Drug-bug mismatch
– Antimicrobial usage measurements
VA National Antimicrobial
Stewardship Taskforce
Purpose:
• Optimize the care of Veterans by developing,
deploying and monitoring a national-level
strategic plan for improvements in antimicrobial
therapy management
• Co-Chairs:
– Infectious Diseases Program Office and PBM
• Members:
– Broad multi-disciplinary representation
Committee Objectives
• Most important for this audience….
– Develop a coordinated plan to leverage
clinical information tools that support patient
care and performance measurement

Proposed Antibiotic Use Metrics
• The first metrics proposed by Antibiotic
Stewardship are in the lines of information
gathering
– Antibiotic Use (AU)
– Antibiotic Resistance (AR)
Problem – We Have Little Idea
of What Data Are Available
• We do not know what our usage is!
• We have no minimum dataset
• Our data is a mess
• I’m going to show you WHAT kind a mess
this is…

Questions That We Always Need To
Know To Make A Metric
• What are we measuring?
• Why are we measuring it? What outcome
are we trying to prevent?
• What group are we interested in measuring?
• What characteristic in the group are we
measuring?
• How is this evaluated?

Defining A Population
• We need the number of hospital days a facility has
for exposure
• We get this from the Patient Treatment File (45)
• Why do we need exposure days?
– Sample representation
– Different types of unit exposure
• What is an exposure unit?
– This is hard to tell

Defining A Group
• What constitutes an antibiotic day?
– Any exposure to antibiotics during that time
period
• This is hard to calculate
– Needs to be taken from BCMA
– Not IV
– Not UD
– Not Billed

Problems That We Need Help
• Untangling BCMA
– Unable to Scan
– Variance
• Untangling Location
– Census of locations
• Working with local formularies

Problems With The
Calculation
• Hospital Location
– No clear identifier what is an inpatient bed by
NHSN criteria
• Bed hopping
– Patient Movement is nearly impossible to figure
out a straight answer to where people are
• Meaningfulness
– Even if I know these numbers for antimicrobial
use, what do I do about them?
Days Present

Definition: Aggregate number of patients
housed to a patient care location anytime
throughout a day during a calendar month

Application of Benchmarking Data
• Does not assess appropriateness of use
• Tool for stewardship program
– Quality improvement efforts
– Aggregate reports of patient care locations and facility
usage
Role of IT Solutions
• Short-term goals include locally created
– Fileman Reports
– Electronic Templates for CPRS
• Potential long-term solutions may include
– National Reports available via CDW
– Infection Control Surveillance Vendors
– Validation critical before national roll-out!
Conclusions
• IT solutions are essential for antimicrobial
stewardship programs to promote the
appropriate and safe use of antimicrobials
• Please contact me directly for
– Volunteering in subcommittee
– Sharing data tools or ideas!
