Abstract:
Hospitalists represent a rapidly emerging specialty group that treats a large proportion of hospitalized patients with infections. Antimicrobial stewardship programs and hospitalist groups that focus on building a collaborative approach have been extremely successful in optimizing antimicrobial prescribing and improving patient outcomes. We discuss the tools needed to build collaborative relationships, summarize published examples of successful stewardship-hospitalist collaboration, and provide guidance on developing collaborative interventions.
