Architecture, goals and challenges of the Swiss Information System for Antibiotics in Veterinary Medicine (IS ABV)
These advances highlight the system's effectiveness in improving data accuracy and in monitoring antibiotic management improvements in Swiss veterinary practices. By providing more reliable, timely data, IS ABV enables better monitoring of prescribing patterns and supports evidence-based decision-making. This enables the authorities to design targeted interventions and policies aimed at reducing unnecessary antibiotic use, thereby contributing to the fight against antimicrobial resistance.
