Plus, "can be repeated " = can be accepted by third party ?
Context:
Unfortunately, it is doubtful that these efforts will have the resources, leverage, and influence on policy makers to have a meaningful effect on antibiotic use and resistance. How high-level recommendations can have a global effect on antibiotic prescribing and transmission control in the real world of physicians’ offices, hospital wards, and long-term care facilities is not clear. Nor is it clear how these efforts can change public attitudes about antibiotic use. Those leading these international efforts urgently need to develop an understanding and recognition of the most successful approaches, wherever they are working, so that these strategies can be repeated and spread. It will be very useful to examine how the attitudes, culture, and practices of one community can be transferred to another, and how stewardship programmes in one country can be implemented in diverse settings. 21
Yes, and the both refer the most successful means of convincing policy makers and health care providers to use antibiotics more carefully, or not at all, in line with the most recent research on microbial resistance to antibiotics. Saying accepted by a third party is rather awkward. In the ideal situation (from the point of view of the author), once a successful strategy for getting the attention and cooperation of policy makers and health care providers has been devised, it should be accepted by all members of those groups.
