Our methodology

The triple shield approach

Effective containment of Antimicrobial Resistance requires more than just restricting prescriptions. Orchid AMS operationalizes the comprehensive triple shield approach to combat AMR effectively at all levels.
Pillar 1
Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)
Actively reduce the overall need for antimicrobial use. Partner hospitals have seen a 10 to 20% reduction in Healthcare Associated Infections through structured IPC protocols.
Pillar 2
Diagnostic Stewardship
Ensure accurate, evidence-based treatment and prophylaxis rather than prolonged empirical therapy. Move from guesswork to culture-driven prescribing with unit-specific antibiograms for OPD, ward, and ICU.
Pillar 3
Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS)
Optimize selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial therapies. Real-time audit and feedback loops sustain prescribing discipline and drive a 20 to 35% reduction in broad-spectrum antibiotic use.
Partnership model

A multi-dimensional approach to strengthen your hospital's AMR defense.

We partner with hospitals to deliver transformative excellence. Our Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (AMSP) embeds seamlessly into your existing workflows.

Our 5-step engagement process

We follow a structured, collaborative methodology to assess, design, and implement your customized stewardship program:
01
Confidentiality Agreement (CDA)
We establish trust and secure information handling from day one.
02
Two-Day On-Site Audit
A comprehensive policy review, prescription audit, and an in-depth microbiology and pharmacy assessment.
03
Stakeholder Engagement
Direct interactions with your clinicians to understand daily workflows, identify pain points, and uncover clinical opportunities.
04
Leadership Presentation
We deliver our final findings and strategic recommendations directly to your hospital leadership team.
05
Detailed Roadmap
We provide a comprehensive implementation plan complete with timelines, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and a sustainable governance model.

The strategic & financial impact of AMSP

Implementing our data-driven stewardship program eliminates hidden inefficiencies, unlocking significant clinical and financial value for your institution.
30%
Reduced Drug Costs
A 15% to 30% reduction in antibiotic spending, saving approximately ₹1.5 to ₹3.5 Crores annually
6 Cr
Capacity value
Decreased Length of Stay (ALOS)
Shortening overall ALOS by 0.5 to 1.2 days per infection episode, and ICU ALOS by 0.3 to 0.8 days, which unlocks ₹3 to ₹6 Crores in capacity value.
2 Cr
In savings
Fewer Complications
Avoiding empirical escalations, repeat cultures, and prolonged ICU care yields an estimated ₹1 to ₹2 Crores in savings.
~35%
Reduction in broad-spectrum
Measurable Clinical Improvements
Hospitals typically see a ~35% reduction in broad-spectrum antibiotic use, a ~20% decrease in HAIs and multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections, and an 8% to 15% drop in patient readmissions.
