Standard 3: Preventing and Controlling Infections – Australia National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards Second Edition

Australia National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards Second Edition 3.18-3.19: An antimicrobial stewardship program has a policy, current Australian therapeutic guidelines, a formulary with restrictions and approvals and the Antimicrobial Stewardship Clinical Care Standard elements, acts on audit results, reviews prescribing and use, uses resistance and usage surveillance, evaluates itself and reports to clinicians and the governing body

The antimicrobial stewardship program must rest on a written policy, give prescribers the current Australian therapeutic guidelines and encourage their use, run a formulary built on those guidelines with restrictions and approvals, embed the elements of the national stewardship clinical care standard, and act on use and appropriateness audits. It must review prescribing and use, draw on resistance and usage surveillance to guide prescribing, evaluate itself and act to improve appropriateness, and report to clinicians and the board on policy compliance, resistance hotspots, appropriateness actions and performance over time.
