“The new combination of experience is designed to elevate the strategic counsel, product innovation and operations for both internal and external stakeholders,” said Paul Edwards, CEO of DoseMe. ”With an in-depth understanding of the demands of the industry, patient needs and technological advancements, we have an incredible opportunity to make a difference in healthcare.”
Bayesian dosing continues to draw more attention across the industry as there are at least 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections each year, and more than 35,000 people die as a result, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. DoseMe keeps its customers abreast of all changes and approaches to optimizing the use of antibiotics, with the core mission to maintain patient safety as the priority. Antibiotic stewardship programs play a critical role in supporting appropriate antibiotic prescribing practices and reducing antibiotic resistance.
As covered in a recent DoseMe blog, effective January 1, 2023, new and revised antibiotic stewardship requirements will apply to all Joint Commission–accredited hospitals and critical access hospitals. The 12 elements of performance (EPs) are included in the “Medication Management” (MM) chapter and expand upon the current expectations for antibiotic stewardship programs in the hospital setting.
