Antimicrobial Stewardship Recognition Program

In 2019, the New Jersey Department of Health launched the NJ Antimicrobial Stewardship Recognition Program to:

Acknowledge our top performers and encourage developing stewardship programs
Improve visibility of ASPs within their organizations
Encourage new leaders and find unique initiatives
Sustain current emphasis on stewardship in NJ

The three application types are:

Acute care hospitals
Post-acute care facilities (e.g., long-term acute care, skilled nursing, long-term care, rehabilitation)
Outpatient facilities (e.g., physician’s offices, ambulatory surgery, urgent care, hemodialysis)

Applicants from acute care hospitals and post-acute care facilities will be recognized as Gold, Silver, or Bronze awardees, based on the difficulty of ASP interventions. Outpatient healthcare facilities will be recognized with a general award during the 2019 program, though tiered outpatient awards are under development for future program years.

For more information, view the 5/14/19 webinar: Unveiling our New Antimicrobial Stewardship Recognition Program!
