The cost associated with the development of the antimicrobial stewardship program in the adult general medicine setting in Qatar by Abushanab, Dina

“…The operational costs decreased with the developed ASP. Whereas antimicrobial consumption and resource utilisation, and their associated costs, appear to have declined with the developed ASP, with a cost saving of QAR458 (US$125) per 100-patient beds, the avoided cost was negative, by QAR4,807 (US$1,317) per 100-patient beds, adding to a total QAR4,224 (US$1,160) increase in the 100-patient beds cost after ASP development. …”
