Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is a significant threat to modern healthcare and is driven by antimicrobial overuse. Hospital antimicrobial use in Kentucky exceeds national rates and long-term care facility antimicrobial stewardship implementation is low. Partnering with the Kentucky Department for Public Health, the Kentucky Antimicrobial Stewardship Innovation Consortium (KASIC) was created to facilitate antimicrobial stewardship across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This manuscript describes KASIC objectives, defines the KASIC target audience, and describes KASIC methods
