Abstract
The interdisciplinary team of an Antimicrobial Stewardship Program is indispensable to preserve the antibiotic utility and avoid resistance in a hospital. One key duty of this team is the administration behaviour surveillance, which is a complex and tedious issue.
In this work we present a tool to support this supervision by visualising some essential elements of the antimicrobial therapy: patient record, guidelines and key decision actions. The tool uses standardized models of industry (BPMN, DMN) to ease its maintenance in the long term and its interopreability.
