Antimicrobial stewardship
Stewardship works when your guidance reaches the prescriber.
Your antimicrobial policy is agreed, published and current. The question is whether the person holding the prescription chart can find it in the twenty seconds they have.
The problem
Good policy, uneven practice.
Prescribing variation is rarely a knowledge problem in the stewardship team. It is an access problem at the bedside.
- Local guidance buried in intranet pages and PDFs
- Superseded versions still circulating on wards
- Juniors defaulting to memory or generic sources
- Stewardship rounds spent correcting avoidable choices
- No visibility of what prescribers actually looked up
- Formulary and guideline content held in separate places
How the brain solves it
Your stewardship knowledge, at the point of decision.
Ask in plain language
A prescriber asks about an indication and gets your organisation's answer, with the source cited.
One current version
Ownership, review cycles and expiry management keep the antimicrobial guideline set trustworthy.

Usage analytics show which pathways get looked up, and where guidance is missing or unclear.
