Show me the money: long-term financial impact of an antimicrobial stewardship program

James R Beardsley et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2012 Apr.

Abstract

The financial impact of an antimicrobial stewardship program in operation for more than 11 years was determined by calculating the reduction in antimicrobial expenditures minus program labor costs. Depending on the method of inflation adjustment used, the program was associated with average cost savings of $920,070 to $2,064,441 per year.
