In response to the growing public health threats of antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial overuse, we established the Providence Health Care (PHC) Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) on April 1, 2013.

Our goals were to optimize antimicrobial utilization at PHC and engage prescribers in dialogue around “Bugs and Drugs.”

To accomplish these broad program goals, we successfully implemented the following financially sustainable initiatives:

• Prospective audit of antimicrobial use and feedback to prescribers, with 1386 interventions and an 85 per cent acceptance rate. The majority of recommendations led to discontinuation of antibiotics.

• Collaboration with the Medical Microbiology Division to expedite

optimal treatment of bloodstream infections.

• Partnership with Infection Prevention and Control to minimize the use of concurrent antibiotics for patients with Clostridium difficile infection.

• Effective communication with Wound Care Nursing Team to manage complex wounds.

• Broad education and teaching designed to improve antimicrobial therapeutics knowledge and heighten awareness of antimicrobial resistance

• Accessible, locally relevant, concise and evidence-informed treatment guidelines for common infections

• System improvements in selection and delivery of perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis.

In the first year of our program, we built the foundations for a coordinated and systematic approach to support optimal antimicrobial treatment outcomes. We saved $487,231 in antimicrobial expenditures. We also helped other hospitals in British Columbia to develop similar programs in their institutions.

We are very fortunate to have the engagement and support of many individuals and teams in the PHC community. We would like to thank all prescribers at PHC. Together we can delay the post-antibiotic era by improving prescribing behaviour.

Sincerely,

Antimicrobial Stewardship Program

BACKGROUND | VISION | MISSION

ASP is a systematic, coordinated and multifaceted approach to improve and measure the use of antimicrobials. Our program focuses on engaging prescribers in dialogue about antimicrobial resistance and therapy. We target inappropriate antimicrobial use by establishing programs to improve education, clinical documentation and care transitions.

In the era of increasing antimicrobial resistance, prescribers need to be well informed when selecting antimicrobials. Treatment needs to be effective and minimize harm from adverse effects such as disruption of human microbiome, development of antimicrobial resistance and superinfections, and drug interactions and toxicities.

We have an opportunity to optimize patient outcomes and potentially delay the post-antibiotic era by improving antimicrobial prescribing.

VISION

Use innovative evidence-informed strategies to transform the way antimicrobials are prescribed.

MISSION

Ensure that every patient and resident at Providence Health Care receives timely, safe and effective antimicrobial therapy.

2.1 AUDIT AND FEEDBACK

AUDIT AND FEEDBACK | BACTEREMIA/FUNGEMIA ALERTS | CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE MANAGEMENT | URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS AND ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIURIA IN RESIDENTIAL CARE | WOUND CARE COLLABORATION

Ongoing audit and feedback are core clinical activities of our ASP. All patients receiving targeted antimicrobials are assessed for potential interventions including:

• Changing antimicrobials to target a syndrome or known pathogen

• Discontinuing antimicrobials • Transitioning to oral antimicrobials• Establishing duration of therapy

We make recommendations based on review of medical and nursing notes, diagnostic test results, published guidelines and local epidemiology. In complicated cases, we recommend consultation with the Infectious Diseases service.

We always attempt to contact the physician team to discuss our recommendations. Our goal is to

provide timely, accessible and clinically relevant recommendations. All suggestions are left in the interdisciplinary notes and tracked in our database.

We understand that departures from clinical guidelines are necessary. Ultimately, the decision to accept or reject our recommendations rests with the most responsible physician. We never write orders without explicit approval by the most responsible medical or surgical team.

did you know?

This year, we made 1326 audit and feedback interventions with an acceptance rate of 85%.

We implemented an ongoing collaborative process with the Medical Microbiology laboratory where the ASP physician or pharmacist participates in blood culture rounds. This ensures patients with positive blood cultures (bacteremia/fungemia) receive the most timely and appropriate treatment.

We have been using the new rapid identification system (MALDI-TOF) directly from blood cultures in conjunction with direct antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The PHC Medical Microbiology laboratory is leading the implementation of this innovative technology. We are fortunate to have this collaboration.Review of MALDI-TOF results for rapid identification of

AUDIT AND FEEDBACK | BACTEREMIA/FUNGEMIA ALERTS | CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE MANAGEMENT | URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS AND ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIURIA IN RESIDENTIAL CARE | WOUND CARE COLLABORATION

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the most common form of infectious diarrhea in hospitalized patients. Antimicrobial use is a key driver of CDI and we know that patients diagnosed with CDI recover more slowly if they are on antimicrobials for other possible infections.

In collaboration with Infection Prevention and Control, we implemented a process where the ASP physician and pharmacist receive real time phone alerts of all new C. difficile cases (“War on the Spore” program). The goal is to assess whether concurrent antimicrobials can be stopped.

In fiscal year 2014/15, ASP will start reviewing all inpatient cases of C. difficile infection. In addition to assessing the need for concurrent antimicrobials, the ASP team will be assessing adherence to regional CDI management guidelines.

ASP collaborated with Infection Prevention and Control and St. Vincent’s Langara to implement a pilot prospective audit and review of urine cultures submitted from residents at Langara. The goal was to reduce inappropriate collection of urine cultures and unnecessary antibiotic treatment for asymptomatic bacteriuria. The project was successful in reducing overall antibiotic prescriptions for presumed urinary tract infections and the number of urine cultures collected from patients. In fiscal 2014/15, we will explore opportunities to implement this prototype in other residential care facilities at PHC.

Patients with complicated wounds are often prescribed antibiotics for presumed infection. However, wounds which are appropriately cleaned by wound care nurse specialists will frequently show no residual signs of infection. In collaboration with the Wound Care Team, we implemented a process where ASP is alerted when antibiotics are prescribed for wounds with no clear signs of infection. The goal of the program is to avoid unnecessary antibiotics.

The ASP physician and pharmacist were available to discuss and provide advice on antimicrobial treatment choices. These discussions often occured on the hospital wards during clinical rounds. Dialogue helps provide learning opportunities for prescribers and our team.

ROTATIONS FOR TRAINEES

We have provided supervision to trainees in the University of British Columbia Pharmacy, Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology residency programs. We will continue to offer rotations for trainees in the UBC Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology residency programs. Shorter rotations will be offered to PharmD candidates. Eventually, we hope to provide this rotation to other trainees.

The Antimicrobial Stewardship Subcommittee is actively involved in developing and revising clinically relevant treatment guidelines for common infections seen at PHC. We produced six new guidelines, which were posted on our website. These guidelines are reviewed and endorsed by our sub-specialty colleagues at PHC and treatment recommendations consider local epidemiology.

PERIOPERATIVE ANTIMICROBIAL PROPHYLAXIS AND ORDER SETS

In collaboration with physicians in the Department of Surgery, we have been revising antimicrobials on pre-printed perioperative orders. Revisions are submitted to the local Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee for approval. We have also been working closely with our antimicrobial

stewardship colleagues at Vancouver Coastal Health to develop a regional document for perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis. Next fiscal year, ASP will be working closely with order sets for the Clinical Systems Transformation project.

DRUG UTILIZATION | RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

DRUG UTILIZATIONWe believe that our program will significantly decrease overall antimicrobial utilization at Providence Health Care. However, our antiquated pharmacy information system limits simple data extraction. We anticipate that with information system upgrades coming in the next fiscal year, the study of drug utilization will be much easier. The drug utilization analysis will be done in collaboration with the provincial “Do Bugs Need Drugs?” program.

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPSASP will be involved in co-supervising an infectious diseases fellow for the AMMI Canada (Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease Canada) Post-Residency Research Fellowship.

The project will start next fiscal year. The objective is to examine the clinical impacts of rapidly identifying pathogens causing bacteremia in hospitalized patients followed by prospective audit and feedback.

6.0 INTERVENTIONS

The standard for clinical outcome metrics for antimicrobial stewardship programs is an ongoing area of research. In the first year of our program, we were able to track the number and types of interventions we made through our prospective audit and feedback based on targeted antimicrobials. Process measures will

be further refined in the next few years to better understand where audit and feedback has the most impact.

The types of interventions and the indications for the interventions are summarized in Tables 1-2 and Figure 1.

DRUG UTILIZATION

The pharmacy information system has been undergoing upgrades to permit more efficient extraction of drug utilization data. During the first year of our program, resources were not available to examine the

changes in antimicrobial utilization after our antimicrobial stewardship program was implemented. After the information system upgrades, our plan is to review drug utilization for targeted antimicrobials. The metric used for each antimicrobial will be Daily Defined Dose/10,000 patient days.

use of antimicrobials when they are needed, better determination of antimicrobial therapy duration and improved selection of pathogen directed antimicrobials and routes of administration. This year expenditures decreased by $487,371.
