Examples of Antimicrobial Stewardship Interventions for Hospitals

AS Interventions gear in motion

  • Effective antimicrobial stewardship is essential to optimize antibiotic use, improve patient outcomes, and reduce the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Hospitals across California have implemented a variety of evidence-based stewardship interventions to achieve these goals. 
  • Below are real-world examples of stewardship projects that had positive and clinically meaningful results that hospitals may consider adapting. Each example includes: 
    • Project Summary — details on project category, population, data collection method, and time frame 
    • Intervention — what was done 
    • Implementation Steps — how the intervention was implemented
    • Outcome Measures — what was measured to evaluate project effectiveness 
  • Example intervention categories​ include standardized order sets with computerized clinical decision support, diagnostic stewardship, intravenous to enteral (IV-to-PO) conversion initiatives, and more. Use this resource to find strategies that align with your hospital’s stewardship priorities. 
  • Below is a searchable list of interventions that can be filtered by project category, title, and population.​
