The UW Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Tracker is an interactive, visual tool that maps antibiotic resistance data from across Wisconsin.
Created by the UW–Madison School of Pharmacy in collaboration with the State Cartographer’s Office, the AMR Tracker offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface that will help health care providers and public health officials see resistance patterns and hot spots at a glance and guide timely and effective patient treatment decisions.
The tool will allow physicians to select the most effective antibiotic for a patient based on resistance patterns in their area. This may be especially valuable in settings such as community practice and emergency departments, where treatment decisions are often made prior to obtaining culture results.
The UW–Madison School of Pharmacy is now seeking health care system partners to join this project by providing additional data about antibiotic usage and bacterial resistance. Project partners from across the state are needed to make the tool as comprehensive and beneficial as possible when it launches in Summer 2019.
