Regarding Collaboration in Antimicrobial Stewardship

Clinicians were not meant to practice alone; instead, at best, medicine should be practiced as a team composed of multiple disciplines engendering a collective accountability for patient care. This type of practice highlights the strengths of individual health care professionals and depends on collaboration for success. Successful antimicrobial stewardship embodies this type of multidisciplinary collaboration, beginning with the combined leadership of a pharmacist and physician and drawing in the unique expertise and skillsets of each to build a team pulling from all areas in the health system involving antibiotic use.
