Proposed Project Guide to Nursing Home Antimicrobial Stewardship This project seeks to contribute to AHRQ’s mission by assisting nursing homes to optimize antimicrobial (e.g., antibiotics and antifungals) prescribing practices, also referred to as antimicrobial stewardship. Antimicrobial stewardship programs reduce the development of drugresistant organisms, enhance patient outcomes, and reduce unnecessary costs. Nursing homes serve as one of our most fertile breeding grounds for antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. This stems from high rates of infection in nursing home residents due to the effects of normal aging combined with multiple chronic diseases. The most common infections encountered in nursing home residents are pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections. In one study by Yoshikawa and Norman, researchers found that these three types of infections accounted for approximately 75 percent of all nursing homeassociated infections (NHAIs).
