Summary

World increase in mortality from consequences of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a significant public health problem. Irrational prescribing of antimicrobial drugs (AMD) in general population is one of the main causes of development AMR. This is also contributed by fact that up to 90% of total antimicrobial consumption in Europe is related to the general population. Problem of AMR has been recognized by World Health Organization and Council of European Union, which support the establishment of the antimicrobial stewardship team (A-team). A-team provides co-ordinated interventions that promote rational use of AMD. To date, no study has been carried out in which A-team from hospital environment goes to primary health care for the purpose of rationalization prescribing of AMD by primary health care practitioners. Project for implementation of hospital A-team in primary health care in Koprivnica-Križevci County was initiated using academic detailing method aimed at rationalization of the consumption of AMD.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Academic detailing intervention

Academic detailing or educational outreach is a method based on scientific data with the help of educated A-team members in the form of direct (face-to-face) interactions, prescribing practices change and adherence improves according to the application of currently valid therapeutic guidelines
