Module objectives
Improving antibiotic prescription and infection control the Emergency Room
Emergency Rooms (ERs) are challenging: time is scarce; the workload is great; medical teams are not constant; awareness and expertise can be improved. Typically, ERs are the first place for antimicrobial decision, which should be timely and appropriate, with low rates of prescription change when patients are transferred to wards. On the other side, ERs are central for screening and isolation of admitted patients, improving safety of other patients and healthcare workers.
CME Accreditation
The organizers of the module will apply for European CME accreditation through EACCME.
