Today, on CDC’s Safe Healthcare Blog, Sara Cosgrove, MD, MS, of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Secretary for the Society of Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) Board of Directors, makes the case for antibiotic (or antimicrobial) stewardship programs within healthcare to help preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics and limit the spread of Clostridium difficile. Learn about available tools and resources your facility can use to promote antibiotic stewardship in Dr. Cosgrove’s Safe Healthcare Blog posting at http://blogs.cdc.gov/safehealthcare/
