Antibiotic Stewardship at transitions of care: identifying opportunities for antibiotic optimization
Abstract We conducted a cross-sectional study to identify the frequency of optimized oral antibiotic regimens at transitions of care (TOC) in patients diagnosed with respiratory, urinary tract, or skin structure infections. An optimal regimen was identified in 62.5% of patients at TOC, highlighting opportunities for antimicrobial stewardship interventions at TOC.
