Antibiotic Stewardship (ABS)
The management of infections in hospitals is an ongoing challenge. In addition to a general increase in complex infections - caused by the increasing morbidity and age of inpatients over the years - the legislator has imposed extensive obligations on hospital management in the areas of hygiene and ABS with the Infection Protection Act 2011 (IfSG 2011). In addition, cases of infection in hospitals are readily portrayed in the lay press in a way that attracts public attention and scandalizes the public. In these situations in particular, the impression is often created - often unfortunately correct - that mistakes have been made in infection management by the hospital in question.
Antibiotic stewardship (ABS) refers to the sum of all measures in an organization to implement structures and processes for the rational use of antimicrobial substances. The goal is to avoid unnecessary development of resistance and, of course - first and foremost - to provide correct therapy for patients with infections.
