Communicable Disease Service

Healthcare facilities across New Jersey are encouraged to apply for the Antimicrobial Stewardship Recognition Program (ASRP). Through the ASRP, the NJDOH Communicable Disease Service (CDS) has several goals: 

• Acknowledge our top performers and encourage developing stewardship programs,
• Improve visibility of ASPs within their organizations,
• Encourage new leaders and find unique initiatives, and
• Sustain current emphasis on stewardship in NJ

Educational Webinar Slides:

• Acute Care Facilities
• Post-Acute Care Facilities
• Outpatient Facilities

For additional assistance, please reach out to the Antimicrobial Stewardship DOH emailbox at AbxAware@doh.nj.gov.

A list of facilities who have been recognized in past years is available here.

**The New Jersey Department of Health Antimicrobial Stewardship Recognition Program acknowledges health care facilities and physician practices who demonstrate, through written documentation, that they have met or exceeded the minimum expectations for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Core Elements of Antimicrobial Stewardship. This recognition is based solely on satisfaction of CDC criteria and does not otherwise constitute an endorsement of any health care facility or physician practice by the New Jersey Department of Health.
