The Life-Saving Benefits of Antibiotic Use

• Once-deadly infectious diseases are treatable, substantially reducing deaths compared to the pre-antibiotic era.

• Important adjunct to modern medical advances– Surgeries– Transplants– Cancer therapies

We Are Facing the “End of the Antibiotic Era”

Increasing resistance related

to overuse and misuse

Lack of new drug development due

to reduced incentives and

regulatory requirements

Few new antibiotics in the

pipeline

Limited treatment

options

AS is The Effort to…

• Measure antibiotic prescribing.• Improve prescribing by clinicians and use by patients so

that antibiotics are only prescribed and used when needed.

• Minimize misdiagnoses or delayed diagnoses leading to underuse of antibiotics.

• Ensure that the right drug, dose, and duration are selected when an antibiotic is needed.

The goal of AS is to maximize the benefit of treatment while minimizing harm to individuals and communities.

• Simple and easy-to-initiate interventions can be put in place before your waiting room fills up.

• One study estimated that a 10 percent reduction in overall outpatient antibiotic prescribing could reduce community-associated Clostridium difficile infections by 17 percent.1

• Reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescribing can prevent avoidable adverse events resulting from antibiotics.2, 3

Outpatient AS Initiative Objectives

• Help participants incorporate the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Core Elements of Outpatient AS into their practices.

• Offer education to participating practices and patients on AS and the risks of misuse and overuse of antibiotics.

• Build partnerships with stakeholders working to promote and educate the community about AS.

• Support the development of a change package including best practices.
