Congratulations to the UNC Health Lenoir Pharmacy team for their incredible work, presented at the ASHP Midyear Conference 2025!

The team tackled the overuse of Azactam (aztreonam), an expensive antibiotic often chosen due to documented penicillin allergies. Through collaborative efforts, they worked closely with nurses and physicians to clarify patient allergy information, update charts, and ensure better, safer, and more effective antibiotic choices. This resulted in a 93% decrease in Azactam use, with improved antibiotic selection and long-term benefits for patient safety and care.

We’re proud that this project was accepted in the Best Practices category, recognizing its impact on patient outcomes and interdisciplinary collaboration. This achievement highlights the power of teamwork across pharmacy, medicine, and patient care, proving that cross-disciplinary collaboration truly leads to better outcomes.
