Assessment of Antimicrobial Transition Errors from Hospitals to Skilled Nursing Facilities
Nearly one-third of patients transitioning from hospitals to SNFs on antimicrobials experienced ≥1 antimicrobial transition error. We did not identify risk factors for antimicrobial transition errors. The trend toward an association between antibiotic transition errors and poor infection outcomes warrants further investigation in more robust data sets.
