Development of a quantitative self-assessment tool for hospital antimicrobial stewardship and infection control programs: a step towards standardizing clinical studies

This quantitative scoring scheme represents a promising step towards standardizing assessments of AMS and IPC programs in high-income settings, enabling external comparisons and supporting future clinical studies. Further validation is needed to refine its predictive validity and ensure its utility in diverse healthcare settings.

Abstract

This quantitative scoring scheme represents a promising step towards standardizing assessments of AMS and IPC programs in high-income settings, enabling external comparisons and supporting future clinical studies. Further validation is needed to refine its predictive validity and ensure its utility in diverse healthcare settings.
