MUE_Resource Guide-Omadacycline
Learn from experts in the field as they discuss opportunities and key strategies for developing and conducting a medication use evaluation for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in the emergency department/urgent care setting, as outlined in "Treatment of Skin and Soft Tissue Infections in the Emergency Department: Evaluating Omadacycline Use," a medication-use evaluation resource guide from the ASHP Foundation. They will share how new evidence, new drug approvals, changing resistance patterns, and patient-specific considerations can be integrated into the MUE. You will gain insights into optimizing the patient experience and outcomes by applying MUE findings as part of their outpatient antibiotic stewardship strategy. This podcast is part of a project supported by a grant from Paratek.
