Overall objectives | Individual objectives |
---|---|
Background Information |
1. Interpret local epidemiologic data or antibiograms to determine local rates of AMR infections 2. List key risk factors for drug-resistant infections |
Prevention |
3. Describe factors that may lead to unnecessary antibiotic prescribing by healthcare providers 4. Describe the types of precautions needed/infection control measures for AMR organisms |
Diagnosis |
5. Interpret susceptibility of testing results to select the most appropriate antibiotic regimen 6. Utilise the local (and regional, if available) microbiology lab to help interpret patient test results |
Treatment |
7. Identify infections that do not require antibiotic therapy 8. Recognise that treatment of infections may require both antibiotic therapy and source control 9. Recognise the concept of using the narrowest spectrum antibiotic for the shortest period of time 10. Utilise a multidisciplinary healthcare approach when managing AMR organism 11. List resources that can be useful in the treatment of patients with AMR infections 12. Describe the incidence and spectrum of adverse antibiotic effects |
