Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and antibiotic stewardship: Using a systems engineering approach to maintain patient safety	2020-10-12		.txt	text/plain	1175	74	29	Antibiotic stewardship (AS) practices are critical during the COVID-19 pandemic due to risks of antibiotic overuse on patient safety, including Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). A systems engineering approach can help teams evaluate and modify work system elements to support AS and prevent CDI as part of their facility's COVID-19 response. 8 Given the urgent needs to ensure appropriate antibiotic use and reduce CDI risk in COVID-19 patients, a systems engineering approach such as SEIPS can be used to understand the various work-system factors that are involved in antibiotic stewardship and CDI prevention. The interaction of these elements drives antibiotic stewardship, COVID-19 treatment, and CDI prevention processes in each work system; thus, they influence critical patient and organizational outcomes. The SEIPS framework is Person centered: the COVID-19 patient, prescribers, and antibiotic stewardship team members interact with all work-system elements.	./cache/cord-292736-698j35gp.txt	./txt/cord-292736-698j35gp.txt
