Healthcare utilization and outcomes of patients discharged to skilled nursing facilities on parenteral antimicrobial therapy
Hospitalized patients are commonly discharged to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) on outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT). In this study, 101 patients discharged to a SNF on OPAT required considerable post-hospital care coordination and experienced high readmission and mortality rates within 90 days, contributing to literature characterizing OPAT patients in other settings.
