The purpose of this survey is to collect antibiotic start data to understand antibiotic use in Massachusetts. Facilities that submit data will receive a report that allows them to compare their facility's antibiotic use against other long-term care facilities in the state. Antibiotic use tracking is an important core element of antibiotic stewardship.

Please consult with your consultant pharmacist in order to complete this survey. You will be reminded to complete this survey on the first of every month for the previous full month of data.

If you have any questions about data submission please contact Jessica Leaf at jessica.leaf@state.ma.us or Melissa Cumming at melissa.cumming@state.ma.us. Thank you!
