Abstract

Background: Alarming trends in antibiotic resistance sparked a National Action Plan endorsing antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) in health care facilities. Atrium Health consists of 28 acute care facilities with varying levels of ASP maturity. The organization sought to establish an ASP collaborative across a diverse network by uniting local resources with a central advisory team.
