Antimicrobial Resistance Statewide Clinical Network

Com­ing soon!

About the network 

We’re estab­lish­ing an Antimi­cro­bial Resis­tance Statewide Clin­i­cal Net­work (AMR SCN). This net­work will ensure coor­di­nat­ed strate­gies for stew­ard­ship, sur­veil­lance, and edu­ca­tion to reduce resis­tance and help keep patients safe. 

The AMR SCN will bring togeth­er clin­i­cians, con­sumers, and stake­hold­ers from across the state to col­lab­o­rate on inno­v­a­tive solu­tions and best prac­tice care. 

Why this matters

Antimi­cro­bial Resis­tance (AMR) is a seri­ous glob­al health threat. It hap­pens when microor­gan­isms such as bac­te­ria become resis­tant to med­i­cines such as antibi­otics. This makes infec­tions hard­er to treat and puts many mod­ern med­ical advances at risk. It can lead to longer hos­pi­tal stays, high­er med­ical costs and even death.
