Join us on Tuesday,
August 7 at 12:30pm ET for a conversation about the new NQP Playbook™:
Antibiotic Stewardship in Post-Acute and Long-Term Care. We’ll talk to Rachel Roiland,
Director in the Quality Innovation Department at NQF about this exciting new resource for post-acute and long-term care facilities
that will be available for purchase at the NQF Store starting July 25, 2018. Webinar attendees will also receive a unique discount code to purchase the
Playbook.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), nearly 75 percent of the antibiotics in nursing homes are prescribed
inappropriately. To address this issue, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) updated its conditions of participation for long-term care
facilities to include requirements related to antibiotic stewardship. The new
NQP Playbook™ builds on the CDC core elements of antibiotic stewardship
for nursing homes and is designed to assist facilitates in meeting the updated
CMS conditions of participation and implementing a comprehensive, effective
antibiotic stewardship program.
