Veterans Administration Ad Hoc Interdisciplinary Advisory Committee on Antimicrobial Drug Usage

JAMA. 1977;237(10):1001-1002.

Abstract
Eighteen guideline-audits of antimicrobial usage have been prepared for use by hospital staffs for peer review. They may also be used as a national standard to assess the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents in hospitals. It is hoped that the guidelines will stimulate wide discussion and national peer review and will ultimately result in improved care of patients with infectious disease.

Footnotes
For a complete list of participants see p 1002.

It must be emphasized that the material presented is for guidance of hospital staffs in developing methods in monitoring antimicrobial usage and does not constitute official Veterans Administration policy.

Information regarding the date of reprint availability and cost will be provided with the publication of the final part of this series.
