Rural New Mexico hospital adopts model-informed precision dosing to support evidence-based vancomycin therapy and elevate antimicrobial stewardship
Tampa, FL – July 20, 2026
DoseMe, a leading provider of model-informed precision dosing (MIPD), today announced Alta Vista Regional Hospital, a critical access hospital serving northeastern New Mexico, has implemented DoseMeRx, to support more consistent, evidence-based antibiotic dosing.
For years, the clinical team at Alta Vista had been evaluating the transition to area under the curve (AUC)-guided dosing for vancomycin, aligning with evolving clinical guidelines. However, like many rural hospitals, the shift required balancing limited resources, varying clinical perspectives, and the absence of a dedicated infectious disease pharmacist.
“Moving to AUC-based dosing had been on our radar but implementing that change in a smaller hospital environment takes time,” said Monica Aragon, Pharm. D. Ph. C, Pharmacist-in-charge, Alta Vista Regional Hospital. “Without in-house infectious disease specialization, we needed a solution that could bring that level of expertise directly into our workflow.”
The adoption of DoseMeRx enables Alta Vista clinicians to apply Bayesian, model-informed precision dosing at the bedside, helping standardize care while accounting for individual patient variability. The platform supports more accurate vancomycin dosing, reducing reliance on traditional trough-based methods and aligning with current best practices.
“Critical access hospitals like Alta Vista shouldn’t have to compromise when it comes to advanced clinical decision-making,” stated John Hardesky, CEO of DoseMe. “With DoseMeRx, their team can extend infectious disease expertise across the hospital, ensuring every patient benefits from precise, individualized dosing. We’re proud to support their journey as they continue integrating precision dosing into everyday care.”
The deployment marks a significant step forward in Alta Vista’s antimicrobial stewardship efforts, particularly in a setting where clinical resources must be maximized. By embedding advanced dosing capabilities into routine care, the hospital is extending specialist-level insight across its care teams.
The implementation was supported by DoseMe’s clinical and technical teams, who worked closely with Alta Vista staff to provide education, training, and ongoing guidance throughout the rollout.
“The support we received made a real difference. From initial education through deployment, the team helped build confidence across our clinicians. It’s not just about the technology, it’s about making sure people understand how to use it effectively,” added Aragon.
By implementing DoseMeRx, Alta Vista Regional Hospital has established a consistent, evidence-based approach to antibiotic dosing ensuring more precise, patient-specific decisions across its care teams.
