Antibiotic Economies
This paper examines how economic rationalities shape antibiotic usage with the aim of expanding options for the reduction of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Antibiotic usage is typically attributed to the individual behaviours of patients, pet owners and prescribers, an emphasis that has neglected sociological explanations, particularly the economic rationalities that are transforming healthcare. We used sociological theory of pharmaceutical capi…
Risk individualisation and moral injury in the treatment of infection as impediments to the tackling of antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is subject to extensive risk reduction approaches. A central strategy is reducing the unnecessary use of antimicrobials across agriculture and human and animal health care without jeopardising health outcomes for all species concerned. A prominent framework is antimicrobial stewardship which seeks to balance access to effective infection treatments with ensuring that effective antimicrobials are available for future…
Fragmentation in One Health policy and practice responses to antimicrobial resistance and the salutary value of collaborative humility
This paper investigates One Health (OH) applied to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to deepen and nuance its conceptual underpinnings and inform effective implementation. We consider how models of OH and AMR wedded to bioscience assumptions of life obscure biosocial complexity and reinforce the misleading assumption that scientific knowledge of AMR is generated outside social systems. With reference to in-depth interviews with medical practitioners…
A state-wide implementation of a whole of hospital sepsis pathway with a mortality based cost-effectiveness analysis from a healthcare sector perspective
With global estimates of 15 million cases of sepsis annually, together with a 24% in-hospital mortality rate, this condition comes at a high cost to both the patient and to the health services delivering care. This translational research determined the cost-effectiveness of state-wide implementation of a whole of hospital Sepsis Pathway in reducing mortality and/or hospital admission costs from a healthcare sector perspective, and report the cost…
Identifying barriers and enablers to participation in infection surveillance in Australian residential aged care facilities
Streamlined and simple data entry methods will reduce the burden of surveillance on staff. Education materials will be vital for the implementation of a new surveillance program. These materials must be tailored to different aged care workers, specific to the aged care context and provide guidance on how to use surveillance results to improve practice
