Guideline and Workflow Management Platform for Healthcare Providers

One of the world’s most acute public health problems is the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials, or drugs, as it contributes to antibiotic resistance and poor infection prevention and control, badly impacting the health of patients who are not even exposed to them. In order to address this concern, hospitals can implement an effective guideline and workflow management platform. The guidelines created by the platform can be used for Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS), one of the strategic objectives of the WHO global action plan on antimicrobial resistance. This rational and systematic approach has become a mandatory program a healthcare institution should implement for their accreditation. Our client, one of Australia’s leading public hospitals, wanted to take a stand against antimicrobial resistance and guide the responsible people (such as junior doctors, nurses, or pharmacists) to find the most appropriate recommendations on drugs or combinations of multiple drugs – based on the patient’s health record and physical findings in a hospital. They reached out to our team at TA to develop an administrative tool – with the help of Universal Indication List (UIL) – and build effective and proper guidelines/workflows in their system.
