Abstract:

A surveillance system for measuring patient-level antimicrobial adverse drug events (ADE) may support stewardship activities, however, design and implementation questions remain. In this national survey, stewardship experts favored simple, laboratory-based ADE definitions although there were tensions between feasibility, ability to identify attribution without chart review, and importance of specific ADE.
