Specialized Antimicrobial Stewardship

Fighting Resistance. Protecting Patients. Optimizing Therapy

At MD-RX Telehealth Solutions, LLC, our Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) is designed to help healthcare facilities use antibiotics effectively, responsibly, and safely. We provide real-time pharmacist-led interventions to support evidence-based prescribing, prevent antimicrobial resistance, and improve patient outcomes — all while minimizing cost and regulatory risk.

Whether you’re managing a critical care unit or a skilled nursing facility, our team offers round-the-clock infectious disease support and antibiotic optimization, tailored to your specific patient population and infection control protocols.

Why Antimicrobial Stewardship Matters

Antibiotics save lives — but only when used appropriately. Misuse and overuse can lead to:

What We Do

Our Antimicrobial Stewardship services focus on timely, actionable, pharmacist-driven interventions to improve therapy outcomes and reduce unnecessary antibiotic exposure.

IV to PO Conversions

- Evaluating opportunities to switch from IV to oral therapy when patients meet clinical criteria.
- Improves comfort, reduces line infections, and lowers costs.

Renal & Hepatic Dose Adjustments

Ensuring dosing is optimized based on lab trends (eGFR, BUN, creatinine, LFTs) to prevent accumulation or sub-therapeutic exposure.

Duration of Therapy Reviews

Aligning therapy duration with clinical guidelines (e.g., CAP, UTI, SSTI) to avoid overtreatment.

De-escalation & Discontinuation

Recommending narrower spectrum agents or discontinuation once cultures and sensitivities are available.

Bug-Drug Mismatch Corrections

Monitoring culture results to ensure proper antibiotic targeting based on organism sensitivity.

Duplicate Therapy Elimination

Identifying and stopping unnecessary combinations (e.g., multiple beta-lactams or overlapping coverage).

Lab Result Evaluation

Reviewing trends such as procalcitonin, CRP, CBC, and drug levels to guide antimicrobial decisions.

Education & Collaboration

We work closely with:

Physicians to provide treatment recommendations
Nursing staff to support administration timing and monitoring
Infection control teams to align with surveillance goals
Administrators to support Joint Commission & CMS reporting

Documentation & Reporting

Every antimicrobial stewardship action is fully documented and tracked.

You receive:

Monthly intervention summaries
Cost-savings reports (from conversions & optimizations)
Metrics for antibiotic usage trends
Logs of drug interventions by category (IV to PO, de-escalation, etc.)
