Antibiotic resistance data are already collected at most hospitals and clinics but are not easily accessible to providers at the point of care.
- provide the first comprehensive, statewide view of antibiotic resistance
- make resistance data more accessible to care providers
- increase the use of resistance information in treatment decisions
- help physicians identify the right antibiotic the first time, based on potential resistance risks in a patient’s home region
Participating institutions also will have the opportunity to contribute to a longer-term effort to understand how today’s treatment choices impact the development and spread of future resistance.
