Antimicrobial Stewardship“SHEA, IDSA, and PIDS recommend that the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require participatinghealthcare institutions to develop and implement antimicrobial
stewardship programs. This can be achieved by incorporatingthe requirement into existing regulations via expansion of
interpretive guidelines of the relevant regulation(s). Allhealthcare facilities, including hospitals, long-term care
facilities, long-term acute care facilities, ambulatory surgicalcenters, and dialysis centers should develop and implementan antimicrobial stewardship plan that is modeled after theIDSA and SHEA “Guidelines for Developing an Institutional
Program to Enhance Antimicrobial Stewardship.”*
