Semi-Automated Visualization and ANalysis of Trends: A “SAVANT” for Facilitating Antimicrobial Stewardship Using Antistaphylococcal Resistance and Consumption as a Prototype

Abstract

Governments and health care regulators now require hospitals and nursing homes to establish programs to monitor and report antimicrobial consumption and resistance. However, additional resources were not provided. We sought to develop an approach for monitoring antimicrobial resistance and consumption that health care systems can implement with minimal added costs or modifications to existing diagnostic and informatics infrastructure.
