CHASP includes seven core components including senior hospital management and leadership; access to infection management professionals; as well as continuous monitoring and surveillance of stewardship activities.
The checklist was piloted in hospitals across nine countries including low-income countries. The checklist and results of the pilot were published in Clinical Microbiology and Infection.
