2.7 Clinical Resource Management through Antimicrobial
Stewardship
Clinical Resource Management A
Room: 211
This presentation will focus on Antimicrobial Stewardship programs in
the hospital setting. It will cover the following topics: the definition,
goals, importance, strategies, and resources of Antimicrobial
Stewardship; how inappropriate antibiotic use leads to resistant
organisms, increased LOS, increased healthcare costs, and increases
in adverse patient events and outcomes; how to promote cost-effective
utilization of antimicrobial drugs and resources to increase regulatory
compliance with CMS and TJC measures; and how to improve patient
outcomes. In addition, citing examples from the Fremont-Rideout
Health Group, the presentation will review multi-disciplinary
involvement between pharmacists, physicians, infection control,
microbiologists, and information technology, and will discuss the
benefits of different clinical decision support tools (Stellara, Theradoc,
Quantifi, and MedMinded).

2.8 When Generations Collide
Professional Development I
Room: 207
There are approximately 80 million Baby Boomers, 40 million
Generation Xer’s, and 75 million Generation Yer’s. These are
staggering numbers. The dissimilarity of the personality traits of each of
these groups is remarkable, and the relationships between each other
undoubtedly have an affect on the workplace. As the Baby Boomers
begin to reach retirement age, the Generation Xer’s move upward,
and the Generation Yer’s enter the workforce. Understanding and
learning to work with these dynamics will and are becoming a trait of
successful management. This session will assist the attendees in
understanding the differences and provide tools to utilize in the day-today
operations to bridge this gap.
