All antibiotics should be prescribed appropriately, used for the shortest duration
possible that gives an appropriate clinical outcome, and should be managed within a
multifactorial programme (including hand hygiene and infection prevention and control
precautions) aimed at reducing HCAI and improving antimicrobial use. An
Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme is seen as a key component in the reduction of
HCAI infections. There are many standards that can be used, and the audit tool could
focus on initiation of therapy, switches (intravenous – oral) or ‘de-escalation’ therapy.
Also, the appropriateness of the clinical diagnosis may be difficult to evaluate.
However, documentation of the diagnosis itself in the notes can be audited.
