ABSTRACT

The indiscriminate use of antibiotics in clinical practice may be an independent risk factor for the development of antimicrobial resistance. To combat this, our hospital implemented a hospital antibiotic policy which outlines the appropriate antibiotic to be used in an acute admission, based on a continuously updated local antibiogram. However, we felt that compliance with the policy was poor and hence carried out a quality improvement project (QIP) to assess and increase compliance. We show that a simple QIP model combined with the use of a mobile application can serve to improve compliance even in a low-resource setting with minimum infrastructure. This model could be easily extrapolated into similar settings.
