The fault in our SAAR: optimization and implementation of health-system dashboards for antimicrobial use and SAAR data.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This paper describes a health-system's experience incorporating Standardized Antimicrobial Administration Ratio (SAAR) data to optimize the existing antimicrobial use module within the electronic health record. We describe the design and implementation via a standard operating procedure (SOP), which incorporates SAAR and the optimized dashboards into the health-system's antimicrobial stewardship program.

Design

This is a descriptive study outlining our process of optimizing the electronic health records default antimicrobial use dashboard into a dual-purpose dashboard, SAAR and Antimicrobial Use (AU) dashboard, to be used across a health-system.

Setting

10-hospital health-system.

Intervention

For adult and pediatric populations, a pre-populated dashbo
