Antibiotic Start Reporting Program - Monthly Denominator Data |
The purpose of this survey is to collect antibiotic start data to help Massachusetts long-term care facilities assess their antibiotic use.
Facilities that submit data will receive a report that allows them to compare their facility's antibiotic use against other long-term care facilities in the state. Antibiotic use tracking is an important core element of antibiotic stewardship.
Please work with your consultant pharmacist in order to complete this survey. You will be reminded to complete this survey at the beginning of every month for the previous full month of data.
