Antibiotic Stewardship
Faculty in the ID division lead the Antibiotic Stewardship Programs based at Emory University Hospital Midtown, Emory University Hospital and Grady Memorial Hospital, with support from infectious disease-trained pharmacists at each facility.
The directors of the antibiotic stewardship programs at each hospital also play an active leadership role in the antibiotic utilization subcommittee of each hospital's Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee.
Individually and as a group, the directors and pharmacists have conducted several studies presented at national meetings and contributed to the published medical literature.
Current areas of interest include standardization of antibiotic use by developing local guidelines and a prospective study assessing the impact of elevated MIC to vancomycin on outcomes in patients with MRSA bacteremia.
