Optimizing oral antibiotic prescribing at hospital discharge: a single center, quasi-experiment pilot study
Our quasi-experimental pilot study between July to September 2024 showed that real-time audit/feedback for antibiotic discharge prescriptions improved appropriateness from 50% to 83%, while decreasing median antibiotic duration compared to preintervention period. Hospital discharges are an important transition point for antimicrobial stewardship interventions at discharge.
