Abstract

Objective:To evaluate the impact of an interventional multidisciplinary antibiotic management program on expenditures for antibiotics and on the incidence of nosocomial infections caused by Clostridium difficile and antibiotic-resistant pathogens during 7 years.Design:Prospective study with comparison with preintervention trends.Setting:University-affiliated teaching hospital.Patients:All adult inpatients.Intervention:A multidisciplinary antibiotic management program to minimize the inappropriate use of third-generation cephalosporins was implemented in 1991. Its impact was evaluated prospectively. The incidence of nosocomial C. difficile and resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections as well as the rate of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were compared with those of National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System hospitals of similar size.Results:Following implementation of the program, there was a 22% decrease in the use of parenteral broad-spectrum antibiotics (P < .0001) despite a 15% increase in acuity of patient care during the following 7 years. Concomitantly, there was a significant (P= .002) decrease in nosocomial infections caused by C. difficile and a significant (P = .02) decrease in nosocomial infections caused by resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The program also appeared to have a favorable impact on VRE rates without a sustained impact on MRSA rates.Conclusion:These results suggest that an ongoing multidisciplinary antibiotic management program may have a sustained beneficial impact on both expenditures for antibiotics and the incidence of nosocomial infection by C. difficile and resistant bacterial pathogens.

9. The Adjustment of Spatial Price Indexes for Geographical Differences in Standards Of Consumption: An Application of the Hedonic Method

Abstract

In the fall of each year since 1972, the State of Florida has compiled a price index for each of its 67 counties, called the Florida Price Level Index. The index is patterned after the Consumer Price Index, except that it compares prices in each county to the state-wide average at a specific point in time rather than comparing prices over time at a specific location. Thus a 1974 index value of 108.5 for Monroe County, for example, implies that consumer prices in that county were an average of 8.5% higher than the average price level for the state that year. Florida is at present the only state that constructs such an index, although a number of states are currently considering the construction of similar spatial indexes.
