What is it used for?
The antibiotic management system aims to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use, regulate approval processes, and monitor antibiotic resistance.
Key features
- Approval management: Restricted antibiotic approval flow.
- Usage monitoring: Tracking of antibiotic consumption.
- Resistance tracking: Resistance pattern with microbiology.
- Decision support: Infrastructure for appropriate antibiotic recommendations.

The Antibiotic Management System does not operate in isolation; it typically exchanges data with the following systems and processes:
- Infection control system
- LIS (microbiology)
- CPOE / CDSS
Frequently referenced standards and regulations:
Benefits provided
- Rational antibiotic use
- Order in approval processes
- Resistance monitoring
Selection and evaluation criteria
Main criteria considered when evaluating an antibiotic management system:
