The mission of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is to improve the quality and safety of American’s health care system. In addition to investing in research to make health care safer and improve quality, this Federal agency also creates resources that enable health care providers to put research results into practice. Towards its effort in reducing the spread of antibiotic resistance, AHRQ has created the online Nursing Home Antimicrobial Stewardship Guide. This guide contains a number of guidance documents and tools for implementation of ASP in nursing home. The guide is available at https://www.ahrq.gov/nhguide/about/index.html.
