Expanding Your Influence to Improve Antibiotic Use in Outpatient Settings

Date: Wednesday, Oct. 11 | Time: 8 a.m. – noon ET

Inappropriate antibiotic use in outpatient settings is a considerable public health problem. Antibiotic stewardship teams are increasingly being asked to develop and implement stewardship programs for their medical center or health system’s outpatient clinics. The approaches to outpatient stewardship need to be tailored to these settings, including data gathering, interventions, behavioral modifications, and education, and meet the added challenges of changes to outpatient healthcare delivery as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The primary objective of this didactic and active learning workshop is to give attendees effective tools that can be used to expand the world of stewardship into the outpatient arena.

Going fully virtual – date is now Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET. Registered attendees will receive links to the Zoom prior to Sept. 23.

How to Use EBM/GRADE to Develop Guidelines

Date: Wednesday, Oct. 11 | Time: 8 a.m. – noon ET

The drive for the optimal guideline grading/rating of evidence framework has driven the emergence of the Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework (GRADE). GRADE application in the production of clinical practice guidelines can result in trustworthy guideline recommendations, and as such it is imperative that persons who play a role in guideline panels have some training and orientation in the guideline development process itself, as well as an acute focus on the underpinnings of GRADE. This 4-hour workshop offers such training and orientation to attendees and particularly for those who plan to serve on guideline panels in the future.

Half of the workshop sessions will be pre-recorded for attendees and will also have a Live sessions with attendee interaction. The Live sessions will be held Thursday, Sept. 23 from noon – 5:45 p.m. ET. Prior to Sept. 23, registrants will be able to access the virtual site to ensure they are able to connect properly before the start of the workshop.
