2. Antimicrobial Prescribing Facts
• ~ 1/3 of all hospitalised inpatients at any given time receive
antibiotics
• ~ up to 1/3 to ½ are inappropriate
• ~ up to 30% of all surgical prophylaxis in inappropriate
• Antimicrobials account for upwards of 30% of hospital
pharmacy budgets. Stewardship programmes can save up
to 10% of pharmacy budgets.
• Inappropriate and excessive use leads to resistance,
C.difficle & other ecological consequences, increased
morbidity, mortality, increased cost, increased litigation
and reduce quality of life

8. Consequences of antibiotic use
•Clinical cure
•Inhibition of non pathogenic bacteria
•Selection of resistant mutants
•Toxicity / side effects
9. Antimicrobial Stewardship

Infection control
Clinical cureClinical cure
•Inhibition of non pathogenic bacteria
•Selection of resistant mutants
•Toxicity / side effects
15. Non linear web of causation
Multiple intervention required
16. Four processes working at 88% can summate to as little as
50% likelihood that each patient will experience
100% correct process

18. What Is a Bundle?
• A grouping of best practices that individually
improve care, but when applied together result in
substantially greater improvement.
• Science behind the bundle elements is well
established – the standard of care.
• Bundle element compliance can be measured as
“ yes/no.”
• “All or none” approach.
19. What is a bundle ?
• Structured way of improving process of care
& patient outcomes
• Small, straight forward set of practices (3 to
5) which when performed collectively, reliably
& continuously have been proven to improve
patient outcomes
• Data from these frequent measures is fed
back to those involved in the procedures
• Reduction in negative actions
20. • The premise of a bundle:
– Reduce variation in practice
– Build a collaborative environment
– Bring about change
– Promote problem solving ability of the staff
21. Antimicrobial Use Bundle
Initiation bundle:
1. 1. Clinical rationale for antibiotic initiation documented
2. 2. Appropriate samples for smear & culture collected &
submitted to the laboratory
3. 3. Antibiotic selected according to local policy & risk group
4. 4. Antibiotic ordered as per plan
1. (name, dose, route, frequency & tentative duration)
5. 5. Removal of foreign body or ID, as appropriate,
considered
22. Antimicrobial Use Bundle
Day 3 bundle:
1. 1. Was an antibiotic plan documented
1. (name, dose, route, frequency & planned duration ?)
2. 2. Review of diagnosis after lab reports ?
3. 3. If positive microbiology results, was there any
adaptation : streamlining or discontinuation
4. 4. Was IV -> oral switch considered & implemented
5. 5. Were all four above mentioned steps followed ?
23. Antimicrobial Use Bundle
For Surgical Prophylaxis:
1. 1. Agent selected matches local guidelines for
that operation and for that patient
2. 2. Timing of first dose in 30 min to 1 hour before
incision
3. 3. Antibiotic stopped by 24 hours after the pre
operative dose
29. Implementation of a care bundle for
antimicrobial stewardship
Toth NR et al. Am J Health Syst Pharm 2010; 67: 746 - 749
• 903 bed tertiary care hospital in Michigen
• Decided to:
– Employ a trained pharmacist to perform antibiotic audit
– Daily monitoring of culture & susceptibility results
– Suggest changes to empirical & definitive antimicrobial
– Provide educational in service program focused on
hospitals own antibiogram
• Study:
– Retrospective control: Sept – Nov 2007
– Bundle intervention : Feb – Apr 2008
• Inclusion:
– Pts receiving antibiotics admitted into Medical & Surgical wards, 85
antibiotic orders to detect a 20% difference in compliance with
beta 0.2 and alpha of 0.05
