Topic: The Impact of Computerized Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) on Antimicrobial Stewardship Initiatives Agunobi C Joseph, MSHI, PharmD candidate, Bradley Shinn RPh, PharmD; Presented at the 2016 UF’s Symposium for Scholarship and Creativity, Findlay Ohio, United States Abstract: Increases in antibiotic resistance has led to the need for more effective quality measures for prescribing antibiotic therapy. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) have been shown to minimize unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions and help ensure that these medications are only prescribed when necessary. Objective: To review the benefits of integrating electronic health records (EHR) with CDSS in stewardship programs to promote the conservative prescribing antimicrobial agents. Method: This analysis utilized a systematic literature review of published studies on the use of EHR and CDSS to improve clinical decision making in antimicrobial stewardship programs. Conclusion: The utilization of computerized CDSS has become an important component of antimicrobial stewardship programs in many hospitals. Healthcare providers have implemented these tools to manage and monitor antibiotic prescribing protocols, which has resulted in more appropriate and better-focused use of antimicrobial agents.
