Antibiotic stewardship programs are essential initiatives aimed at optimizing the use of antibiotics to improve patient outcomes while minimizing antibiotic resistance. These programs involve a multidisciplinary approach that includes healthcare providers, pharmacists, infection control specialists, and administrators working together to ensure that antibiotics are prescribed appropriately. Through the implementation of guidelines, protocols, and education, antibiotic stewardship programs help healthcare facilities monitor antibiotic use, identify opportunities for improvement, and promote the judicious use of these vital medications. By preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics, antibiotic stewardship programs play a crucial role in combating antibiotic resistance, reducing healthcare costs, and safeguarding patient safety.
