Principle Diagnostics Expands Antibiotic Stewardship Programs For SNFs, ALs, Hospitals & Practitioners

Principle Diagnostics has just announced the expansion of its antibiotic stewardship program. The company offers skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), assisted living (ALs), hospitals, and private practices expanded testing menus to help them implement successful antimicrobial stewardship programs. Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antibiotics, improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.

Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program with CMS and each individual state that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. In a nutshell; reduce the use of antibiotics in SNFs, ALs, and hospitals to prevent the creation of superbugs

Many SNFs, ALs, and hospitals have implemented these programs with success, but there are still many providers who need help getting started or improving their existing processes. That’s where Principle comes in – they offer training for physicians on how to improve antibiotic prescribing habits and creative ways to implement antimicrobial stewardship programs.

“We are extremely proud to announce the expansion of our antibiotic stewardship program,” stated Gina Mattes, Chief Executive Officer at Principle. “Our goal is always to provide superior service that helps improve clinical care for patients everywhere. We hope this addition to our menu will help hospitals and private practices do just that.”
