Intervention and Acceptance Rates Support Handshake-Stewardship Strategy

Amanda L Hurst et al. J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc. .

Abstract

We instituted a new antimicrobial stewardship approach that involves review of all antimicrobial agents and communication of interventions in person by a pharmacist-physician team termed handshake stewardship. The acceptance rate in this study was 86%, intervention rates were higher with a physician, and interventions on antibiotics not reviewed by other strategies were made frequently.

Keywords: antimicrobial stewardship; clinical rounds; handshake stewardship; interventions; pediatric.
