 August\nWhat's New in the World of Antibiotic Stewardship? 
 Part One: Using Performance Measures in Practice to Drive 
 ChangeFor HEDIS Measurement Year 2022\,  NCQA released the 
 Antibiotic Utilization for Respiratory Conditions measure. 
 The measure can help health plans more closely monitor 
 antibiotic use and assist with stewardship efforts. It 
 tracks antibiotic prescriptions across both appropriate and 
 inappropriate respiratory conditions. Tracking antibiotic 
 prescribing for all respiratory conditions will provide 
 context about a health plan’s overall antibiotic use when 
 viewed with three HEDIS measures of appropriate testing and 
 inappropriate prescribing.\nDr. Eddie Stenehjem\, Senior 
 Medical Director of Medical Specialties and past Medical 
 Director of Antimicrobial Stewardship at Intermountain 
 Healthcare\, will join NCQA to describe Intermountain’s 
 ambulatory antibiotic stewardship platform and how 
 Intermountain monitors antibiotic utilization to support 
 antibiotic stewardship efforts. \nThe purpose of this 
 session is to provide an overview of the new HEDIS 
 antibiotic measure and highlight its use in the field. 
 Participants will be able to ask questions of researchers to 
 learn directly from them about their work. \nWhat You Will
