Dissemination of a facilitation strategy to de-implement unnecessary post-operative antibiotics at children's hospitals: The Optimizing Perioperative Antibiotic in Children (OPerAtiC) trial 2.0
By scaling up this intervention, the study aims to provide a robust evaluation of its effectiveness across diverse hospital settings. If successful, this approach could inform future antimicrobial stewardship efforts in pediatric and adult surgical populations, offering a scalable model for reducing inappropriate antibiotic use while maintaining patient safety.
