Antibiotic Stewardship Long-term Care Honor Roll

Long-term Care Honor Roll

Now MDPH, in partnership with the Tufts Medical Center Antibiotic Stewardship Center of Excellence and Healthcentric Advisors (a member of the IPRO QIN-QIO) would like to recognize long-term care facilities that have consistently reported to the program, displaying their commitment to antibiotic stewardship.

Any long-term care facility in Massachusetts can begin reporting monthly antibiotic start data to MDPH at any time here.

If you have questions about how your facility can be highlighted here as part of the Long-Term Care Antibiotic Stewardship Honor Roll program, please email us at InfectionControlMA@mass.gov.
