Background
• Multi-disciplinary antimicrobial stewardship ward rounds are a useful collaborative strategy for ‘point-of-care’ in stewardship in hospitals
• Audit of this activity is an opportunity to assess the AMS compliance of the responsible ward clinicians & nurses

Aim
• To develop a hand-held electronic AMS data collection platform that is:
– Free
– Easily accessible
– Quick to enter on rounds
– Modifiable

Methods
• Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) ward rounds were held monthly in each of 4 medical inpatient wards at Frere and Cecilia Makiwane Hospitals, East London, from February to July 2017
• Each patient was reviewed to determine the appropriateness of currently prescribed antibiotics and the need for infection prevention control (IPC) measures (unnecessary IV cannula, urinary catheter, or isolation of an infective patient).
• Antibiotics for tuberculosis and prophylaxis were not included.

Data collection tool• A free iOS and android app was used to
develop a data collection tool• Data collection form designed on website• Data collected using smartphone app• Data was stored securely online and
downloaded to Microsoft Excel for data analysis.

Strengths
• Hawthorn effect with scheduled rounds
• Reliance on correct data entering
• ID opinion subjective as to compliance
• Free to use app
• Feedback an educational tool
• Data collection during ward round
Limitations
![Page 15: Assessing the impact of antimicrobial stewardship ward ... · •An app-based data collection tool enables efficient auditing of AMS ward rounds •Antibiotic prescribing compliance](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022043001/5f7845a7af9bcb2e0a3480fb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conclusion
• An app-based data collection tool enables efficient auditing of AMS ward rounds
• Antibiotic prescribing compliance was lower at FH compared to CMH, whilst the need for IPC interventions were higher
• Feedback of this data can be motivational for clinical teams and used to target educational resources more effectively
