Nebraska Antimicrobial Stewardship Summit (Attendee Information)

This site is intended for registered participants of the Nebraska Antimicrobial Stewardship Summit held Aug. 12, 2022, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Omaha—Downtown Old Market, Omaha, NE. 

 

Welcome! Thank you for joining us. 

Nebraska Antimicrobial Stewardship Summit: Refocusing on Stewardship

With workload increases and staffing limitations due to COVID-19, the focus has shifted away from antimicrobial stewardship in many facilities across diverse healthcare settings. Unfortunately, inappropriate antibiotic prescribing is common and can result in sub-optimal patient outcomes, the development of antimicrobial resistance, and serious adverse reactions such as Clostridioides difficile infection. This summit is designed to highlight the importance of antimicrobial stewardship and focus on implementation strategies to promote facility-wide incorporation and improved antimicrobial use and patient outcomes.
