Core Competency: Strengthening Quality Reporting and Improvement
The WV Flex Program's focus is increasing reporting and improving the quality of data reported in regards to antibiotic treatment. Technical assistance, expert assistance, and data entry support are provided to the CAHs participating in the Antibiotic Stewardship Program (ASP). The data submitted is reviewed and validated for quality improvement. The overall goal is to decrease the number of antibiotic prescriptions written.
