Transition to electronic medical records improves efficiency and reach of antimicrobial stewardship service in an Australian tertiary hospital setting
We examined the effect of transition to electronic medical records on the antimicrobial stewardship service (AMS) in our healthcare service, finding significant increases (<i>P</i> < 0.001) in the number and type of prescribed restricted antimicrobials identified for review, number of patients seen, and AMS intervention significance post transition.
