OPEN SOURCE

The Open Source Antimicrobial Stewardship Project (OSAMS) is a collaborative project to develop a free and open source system for antimicrobial approval and advice in the effort to reduce antimicrobial resistance in the hospital and primary healthcare setting... The premise of the OSAMS project is to share clinical knowledge to promote the development of relevant clinical decision support pathways for antimicrobial prescribing. The aim is to focus on supporting clinical staff to make the best decisions when prescribing antimicrobials, rather than a focus on regulation... OSAMS is the worlds only open source antimicrobial clinical decision support and approval application. The application is available for any healthcare institution with a current license for the Australian Therapeutic Guidelines - Antibiotic
