Clearpol's Summary of this Guidance

This letter outlines the requirements of nursing homes and other healthcare facilities to establish an Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) that includes an antibiotic stewardship program. It explains the intent of the regulation, defines important terms, and provides guidance on how to create and implement an antibiotic stewardship program. This program should promote the appropriate use of antibiotics and include a system of monitoring to improve resident outcomes and reduce antibiotic resistance. The program should include elements such as leadership commitment, staff accountability, access to pharmacists and other experts, policy and practice improvements, regular reporting, and education for staff and residents. The program should also include protocols and a system of monitoring antibiotic use, such as summarizing antibiotic use, summarizing antibiotic resistance, and tracking measures of outcome surveillance. Nursing homes and other healthcare facilities must develop an antibiotic stewardship program to ensure that residents receive the right antibiotic for the right indication, dose, and duration, and to reduce the risk of adverse events and the development of antibiotic-resistant organisms.
