Hospital antibiotic stewardship is an initiative that aims to improve patient safety by promoting programs, protocols, and best practices that improve the way we manage and use antibiotics. Hospital antibiotic stewardship promotes using the right antibiotic, at the right time, at the right dose and for the right duration. Hospital antibiotic stewardship has a number of proven benefits that include: protecting patients from unintended consequences of antibiotics, improving treatment of infections, and helping combat antibiotic resistance. These data reflect programs exclusively for inpatient hospital settings.
