Interactuarás con otros compañeros de todo el mundo para entender qué significa la resistencia a antibióticos, y por qué el Foro Económico Mundial la ha colocado al mismo nivel que el terrorismo y el cambio climático en su registro mundial de riesgos.

What topics will you cover?

  • Resistencia a los antibióticos y su impacto global
  • La relación entre la resistencia a antibióticos y la prescripción
  • ¿Qué es la optimización del uso de antimicrobianos y cómo se puede implementar en un entorno hospitalario?
  • Por qué es importante la medición en la optimización y cómo puede mejorar la prescripción de antibióticos
  • Cómo pueden ayudar los métodos diagnósticos innovadores en la toma de decisiones clínicas para la prescripción de antibióticos
  • Entender el valor de la Ciencia del Cambio de Comportamiento para la mejora de la prescripción de antibióticos
  • Ejemplos de optimización del uso de antimicrobianos exitosas en distintos lugares del mundo

What will you achieve?
By the end of the course, you'll be able to...

  • Entender y evaluar el valor de la Ciencia del Cambio de Comportamiento en la implementación de la optimización del uso de antimicrobianos en el lugar de procedencia del alumno
  • Evaluar el reto de la resistencia a antibióticos en el lugar de procedencia del alumno y en su propia práctica
  • Evaluar la efectividad de utilizar determinadas estrategias/herramientas/intervenciones en la optimización del uso de antimicrobianos para impulsar la mejora en el lugar de procedencia y en la propia práctica del alumno
  • Entender el valor de la medición en la optimización del uso de antimicrobianos: cómo calcular las DDD y EPP, empezar a determinar cómo utilizarlas en su lugar de procedencia y en la propia práctica para impulsar mejoras en la prescripción de antibióticos
  • Evaluar el valor de los métodos de diagnóstico innovadores en la toma de decisiones clínicas para conseguir una prescripción de antibióticos óptima
  • Entender el valor de la Ciencia del Cambio de Comportamiento para el manejo exitoso de los antimicrobianos: al evaluar temas relacionados con la cultura y el contexto, los estudiantes explorarán cómo aplicar esta evidencia en su propio entorno.
  • Se proporcionarán ejemplos sobre éxitos en la implementación de la optimización del uso de antimicrobianos en distintos lugares del mundo, y se animará a los alumnos para que evalúen su valor en su lugar de procedencia y en su propia práctica.

Antibiotic Resistance: the Silent Tsunami (FutureLearn)

Understand antibiotic resistance and what actions are needed to address this increasingly serious global health threat. The introduction of the first antibiotic in the 1940s marks a true turning point in human history. For the first time, once deadly infectious diseases, such as pneumonia and bloodstream infections, became manageable health problems and new horizons for modern medicine were defined. The marketing of other antibiotics soon followed, and as a result of their initial success, bacterial infections were considered to be permanently defeated.
