Abstract
Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASP) help hospitals optimize antibiotic utilization, minimize the risk of developing antibiotic resistance and improve patients' health outcomes. Community hospitals can successfully implement an ASP that incorporates CDC-defined core elements of hospital ASP. The antimicrobial stewardship model should be customized to leadership, available resources and targeted interventions.Entities:
