Each year in the United States, at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die as a direct result of these infections. Many more people die from other conditions that were complicated by an antibiotic-resistant infection.
The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) is committed to promoting improved antibiotic prescribing behaviors among 44,000 of the nation’s hospitalists. As part of this commitment SHM has launched the “Fight the Resistance” awareness campaign in conjunction with the Get Smart campaign from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).
