Improving Healthcare Outcomes through Antibiotic Stewardship and Virtual Rapid Response Program
This project focuses on enhancing healthcare outcomes by implementing an Antibiotic Stewardship program and utilizing Virtual Rapid Response Teleconsultation in skilled nursing facilities. The initiative includes developing best practice protocols, educating staff on infection prevention, antibiotic stewardship, and sepsis treatment, as well as training Virtual Rapid Responders. Follow-up procedures involve prompt evaluations of patient responses and close coordination with healthcare providers. The goal is to reduce hospital readmissions and improve patient care delivery.
