Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) by aiding guideline development and cost-effectiveness analysis. However, careful consideration of AI
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Infectious Diseases
- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) are crucial for healthcare institutions.
- Optimizing ASP requires efficient guideline development and resource allocation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the practical application of artificial intelligence (AI) in antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP).
- To assess the benefits and challenges of integrating AI into ASP for guideline creation and cost-effectiveness analysis.
Main Methods:
- This commentary examines a real-world implementation of AI within an ASP.
- It analyzes AI's role in developing institutional guidelines and performing cost-effectiveness evaluations.
Main Results:
- AI demonstrates potential in supporting guideline development and cost-effectiveness analysis for ASP.
- The commentary highlights the need for caution when implementing AI in stewardship initiatives.
Conclusions:
- AI offers significant advantages for antimicrobial stewardship programs.
- Careful implementation and oversight are essential to mitigate potential pitfalls of AI in ASP.

01:14Decision Making: Traditional Method
The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

01:20Decision Making
Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.

01:16Non-equilibrium in the Cell
An important concept in studying metabolism and energy is that of chemical equilibrium. Most chemical reactions are reversible. They can proceed in both directions, releasing energy into their environment in one direction, and absorbing it from the environment in the other direction. The same is true for the chemical reactions involved in cell metabolism, such as the breaking down and building up of proteins into and from individual amino acids, respectively. Reactants within a closed system...
01:25Ethical Standards I
The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...

01:17Ethical Dilemmas I
Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
