Objective
drive-AMS is an initiative for a data-driven implementation of a step-wise behavioural change approach and expert consultancy for a more appropriate use of antimicrobials. The project supports an effective implementation of Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) interventions in European healthcare facilities through a powerful synergy between Radboudumc and the University of Antwerp’s Global-PPS. Radboudumc offers comprehensive expertise in effective and sustainable AMS program training for healthcare professionals. The Global-PPS provides a tool to measure and monitor antimicrobial prescribing and healthcare-associated infections, while identifying targets for achievable AMS interventions.
