Reducing outpatient antibiotic use – You are in the driver’s seat
Mike says, "Today we will be talking about a topic near and dear to my heart – the appropriate use of antibiotics. The science and practice of making sure that antibiotics are used appropriately is also referred to as antimicrobial stewardship. The goal of antimicrobial stewardship is to measure and improve how antibiotics are prescribed by clinicians and used by patients."

Health Economics for Mikes
We have a special guest in the deli this week, Health Economist and Mike’s brother, Don Klepser! Will the deli be able to handle 2 Klepsers? Probably not. At the very least, we should get a few questions answered about why medications cost what they do and what PBMs are while the walls burn down around us.
