Infection Control Solutions to Address Antimicrobial Resistance

Based on our survey, we found a gap in: 

• Understanding AMR Mechanisms: 60% of participants lack a detailed understanding of how antimicrobial resistance develops and spreads.
• This can be addressed by providing targeted education on the science behind AMR. 
• Applying Surveillance Data: 50% of respondents struggle to effectively use AMR surveillance data to inform infection control practices. 
• This can be improved by training on data analysis and practical application of surveillance findings in infection control strategies. 
• Recommended Actions Develop Training Modules: Create content focused on AMR mechanisms and advanced surveillance techniques.
•  Provide Tools and Resources: Supply updated guidelines and data analysis tools to facilitate better application of AMR data. 
• Implement Follow-Up Assessments: Conduct regular evaluations to ensure ongoing proficiency and application of learned skills.

• Define antimicrobial resistance and identify its key drivers within a healthcare context.
• Compare different infection control protocols and assess their applicability in various healthcare settings.
• Implement monitoring tools to evaluate the effectiveness of infection control measures in real-time.
• Analyze case studies involving AMR outbreaks and formulate strategies based on the findings to prevent similar occurrences.
• Solve real-world infection control challenges presented in case studies by applying appropriate interventions and evaluating their outcomes
