Claims20
A method to support an antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) within a heahthcare setting, the method being implemented by one or more computer processors and comprising:
- retrieving, from a plurality of databases, medical data of a plurality of patients, antibiogram information that indicate resistance of pathogens to a plurality of antibiotics within a healthcare setting, and a plurality of guidelines related to treatment of certain diseases using the plurality of antibiotics;
- generating a recommendation for at least one of a prescription of a first antibiotic of the plurality of antibiotics or an order of a first diagnostic test for a first patient of the plurality of patients, the recommendation being generated based on applying one or more rules to the plurality of guidelines, the antibiogram information, and the medical data for the first patient;
- and
- providing, via an interface of a first system accessible by a first member of a treating team, access to the medical data of the first patient, a subset of the antibiogram information relevant to a medical condition of the first patient, and the recommendation to facilitate a first clinical decision by the first member, the first clinical decision including at least one of prescribing a first dosage of the first antibiotic or ordering the first diagnostic test to the first patient.
