California legislation (SB 1311) mandates “general acute care hospitals to adopt and implement, by July 1, 2015, an antimicrobial stewardship policy…that includes a process to evaluate the judicious use of antibiotics.” The bill also requires general acute care hospitals to develop a multidisciplinary antimicrobial stewardship committee, headed by a physician or pharmacist who is knowledgeable about antimicrobial stewardship through prior training or attendance at continuing education programs.” Further California Legislation (SB 361) further mandates similar requirements for Skilled Nursing Facilities on or before January 1, 2017.
