New Push to Stop Overuse of Antibiotics in Nursing Homes
| |
A new front is emerging in the war on the overuse of antibiotics: the nursing home.
Health officials and health-care executives, concerned by a rise in dangerous drug-resistant infections, are turning more attention to nursing homes, where antibiotics are some of the most frequently prescribed medications. They have concentrated over the past several years on curbing misuse of antibiotics in hospitals. Up to 70% of nursing home residents receive one or more courses of antibiotics every year for urinary tract infections, pneumonia, cellulitis and other suspected conditions, according to researchers. Yet up to 75% of those prescriptions are given incorrectly-either unnecessarily or the prescription is for the wrong drug, dose or duration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

ATSU Receives $95,000 Grant to Expand Fall Prevention Outreach Program
| |
Since the program began in 2008, more than 2,000 Arizonans have completed the eight-week curriculum, which gives older adults the tools they need to prevent falls and manage the often-paralyzing fear of falling that comes with growing older. According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, injuries sustained from falls are the leading cause of accident injury deaths in Arizonans 65 and older. ATSU uses A Matter of Balance, a nationally- recognized fall-prevention curriculum developed by Boston University. After receiving special training, teams of ATSU students will offer the curriculum, at no cost, to older citizens at 41 community sites in the Greater Phoenix area. Collaborations with partners ranging from local municipalities to assisted-living communities make the program possible.

| Drug Take-Back Day Attacks Addiction Threat in Arizona | |
The graveyard of bright orange prescription bottles and stray single-dose tablets in many home medicine cabinets may be concealing the threat of addiction.
Officials say that too often those pills wind up in the hands of young people, particularly painkillers leading to opioid abuse. "The biggest vulnerability we have in America is the home medicine cabinet that could be used as a source of supply," said Erica Curry, a spokeswoman for the Drug Enforcement Administration in Phoenix.
