The Newland lab is interested in the impact of antimicrobial stewardship programs on the use of antimicrobials in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. Many different strategies can be utilized to improve antimicrobial prescribing and it is not clear which strategies are associated with the best antimicrobial reduction and clinical outcomes. Furthermore, the best metrics to evaluate the impact of hospital-based ASPs are not clear.
