Antimicrobial Stewardship

The Joint Commission's MM.09.01.0 standard was introduced in January 2017 to ensure all hospitals and skilled nursing facilities have an established Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) as a requirement for accreditation. Several states have also enacted legislation addressing the need for clinical antimicrobial stewardship policies and procedures.

TeleMed2U pioneered the first telemedicine-based Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) for hospitals and clinics. Our evidence-based programs and outcomes have garnered international recognition at medical conferences and in various peer review journal articles.

Led by Dr. Javeed Siddiqui, our virtual ASP offering is fully compliant and based on the guidelines set forth by the Infectious Disease Society of America’s Components of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs.
