With you, we win!

As a prescriber of antibiotics, your decisions have a profound effect on the people we love and care for. You have the power to improve patient outcomes, protect antimicrobials, and curb the spread of drug-resistant infections by leveraging local, evidence-based guidance.

Delivering a stronger dose of stewardship

St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton is on a mission to spark a culture of antimicrobial stewardship that safeguards health now and for generations to come.

With Firstline, we are one step closer to:

  • Optimizing prescribing practices, such as:
    • Duration of therapy
    • Transitioning from empirical use of Vancomycin to targeted use
  • Promoting judicious antimicrobial use, such as:
    • Encouraging the use of narrow-spectrum agents such as the selection of Amoxicillin-Clavulanate over Piperacillin-Tazobactam where appropriate

Leaders like you make big things happen

Your voice is powerful. We are looking for antimicrobial ambassadors from all clinical professions to help expand the use of our local ID guidance and motivate peers to take action on AMR.

If this is you, please contact the antimicrobial stewardship team.
