Prescribing guidelines

The Swiss Society for Infectious Diseases (SSI) regularly develops and publishes guidelines that enable doctors to optimise their use of antibiotics in line with the latest scientific findings. These can be downloaded via the following link: ssi.guidelines.ch.
Users can add their own suggestions or ask questions using a comment function and thereby further improve the guidelines.

Latest resistance data and guidelines in ANRESIS Guide

The latest resistance data are clearly and intuitively presented in the ANRESIS Guide application produced by the Swiss Centre for Antibiotic Resistance ANRESIS. Thus, it supports antibiotic use that is matched to the local resistance situation and linked to the SSI prescribing guidelines. The ANRESIS Guide is available at guide.anresis.ch.
General information and the latest trends can also be found at anresis.ch.

Decision-making aids on antibiotic prescribing in practice and quality circles

StAR_Entscheidungshilfen_AntibiotikaVergabe

BIHAM, the Institute of Primary Health Care, has produced three evidence-based medical information tools and decision-making aids designed to help doctors and their patients jointly decide on antibiotic prescribing.

Simple, understandable graphics show the advantages and disadvantages of treatment with and without antibiotics for tonsillopharyngitis, otitis media in children and uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women.

These resources are ideally suited for use as thought-provoking training aids in quality circles. They can be down-loaded from biham.unibe.ch/entscheidhilfen.
