The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) released a toolkit to improve antibiotic use in long-term care facilities. The toolkit consists of presentations, slides, posters, and other documents that provide guidance on how to create a culture of safety around antibiotic prescribing, develop and improve antibiotic stewardship programs, and learn and disseminate best practices for common infectious disease syndromes in long-term care settings. It also includes an explanation of the "Four Moments of Antibiotic Decision Making," a step-by-step approach that clinicians can use to achieve optimal antibiotic prescribing.
