Abstract:
The electronic medical record (EMR) has huge potential for facilitating antimicrobial stewardship efforts by directing providers to preferred antimicrobials. Cerner PowerChart currently holds the number 2 position in the EMR market. Although PowerChart has limited "out of the box" functionalities to optimize stewardship efforts, there are many potential utilities that can be developed to assist in stewardship practice. However, to harness the stewardship potential of the EMR system, significant hospital information technology resources are needed. Herein we describe the experiences of 3 large healthcare systems utilizing Cerner to facilitate prior authorization of antimicrobials, prospective audit and feedback of antimicrobials, and supplemental stewardship strategies.
