Abstract

This paper introduces a comprehensive framework that elucidates the microfoundations of data-driven antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs), specifically focusing on resource-constrained settings. Such settings necessitate the utilization of available resources and engagement among multiple stakeholders. The microfoundations are conceptualized as interlinked components: input, process, output, and outcome. Collectively, these components provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the development and implementation of data-driven ASPs in resource-constrained settings. It underscores the importance of considering both the social and material dimensions when evaluating microbiological, clinical, and social impacts. By harmonizing technology, practices, values, and behaviors, this framework offers valuable insights for the development, implementation, and assessment of ASPs tailored to resource-constrained environments.
