Facility:
Mission Hospital, Asheville, North Carolina

With this timely access to information, communication at the point of care is improved. With the support of infectious disease physicians, clinical pharmacy utilizes the technology to further support antimicrobial stewardship efforts and expand its effectiveness throughout the hospital.
