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

VA New York Harbor Healthcare System 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:

  • Enhancing accessibility of stewardship and IPC guidance
  • Optimizing prescribing practices, such as duration of therapy
  • Promoting judicious antimicrobial use and encouraging the use of narrow-spectrum agents & tailored therapies
  • Improving efforts to reduce avoidable health care-associated infections such as C. difficile infection

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.
