Breaking Down the Barriers: Challenges With Development and Implementation of an Industry-Sponsored Antimicrobial Stewardship Data Collection and Analysis Tool
Partnership between clinicians and the pharmaceutical industry with a focus on antimicrobial stewardship research initiatives is a necessary step toward meeting the shared goals of combating inappropriate antimicrobial use, improving patient outcomes, and minimizing resistance development. Achieving these goals requires outcomes-focused data collection and monitoring tools for antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) that consider real-world data about how antimicrobials are used to treat patients. Here we highlight the experiences and challenges associated with the development and implementation of an industry-sponsored electronic antimicrobial stewardship data collection and analysis tool (AS-DCAT). The benefits and risks of the industry-sponsored AS-DCAT from the perspectives of the sponsoring company and participating sites are discussed. Barriers encountered as well as general considerations and recommendations for preventing or overcoming those barriers for future studies and tool development are provided.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 October 2014.
All research outputs
#15,739,529
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Infectious Diseases
#13,067
of 16,853 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#140,539
of 268,068 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Infectious Diseases
#136
of 252 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 16,853 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 31.7. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 268,068 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 252 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
