General Implementation Tools

These tools are designed to help support implementation of your program. The Gap Analysis helps identify activities that are fundamental to an antibiotic stewardship program as well as those that can enhance established programs. The Commitment Poster is a public display of your institution’s commitment to prescribing antibiotics responsibly. The Checkpoint Tool helps keep teams on track as they develop, implement, and assess interventions. The Other Resources document contains links to evidence-based materials that may answer frequently asked questions beyond the scope of this program, such as infection control and prevention or antibiotic use for dental procedures.

The materials below are intended for health care practitioners and nursing staff.
