Description
Developed with leading experts in infectious disease, this guide is intended to help support institutions in their plans for antifungal stewardship. The guide examines the rationale for, potential benefits of, and potential elements of an antifungal stewardship program, and suggests practical approaches for establishing a program.
Numerous factors are converging to make the establishment of an antifungal stewardship program imperative. These include the challenges in diagnosing fungal infections and resulting treatment delays, inappropriate antifungal use in some patients, and increasing costs related to such use. There also is the drive to maintain the best standards of care and to address requirements from governing bodies. But stewardship is not just a mandate; it provides optimization opportunities to all institutions, regardless of size or type.
