Harnessing the Power of Data in Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) - Use of Data in Benchmarking Antimicrobial Use and Improving AMS Programme Performance

Data plays a crucial role in optimizing antimicrobial stewardship programmes by enabling benchmarking of antimicrobial use, identifying prescribing trends, and measuring program effectiveness and outcome. Leveraging data-driven insights helps healthcare professionals and institutions set targets, track progress, and implement evidence-based interventions to optimise antimicrobial prescribing practices. This webinar will focus on the use of Data to power Antimicrobial Stewardship Programmes with a particular focus on enablers and obstacles to developing successful programmes.
