Evaluation of outpatient clindamycin prescriptions across a large military healthcare network
Despite local guidelines, clindamycin was still frequently used for a variety of indications in a large military healthcare system with high clindamycin resistance rates. Additionally, a small number of providers were found to be responsible for a disproportionate number of clindamycin prescriptions, highlighting potential targets for intervention for future antimicrobial stewardship interventions.
