Multifaceted intervention for improving antimicrobial prescription at discharge in the emergency department
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 February 2021
Abstract
The frequent prescription of antimicrobials, such as at discharge from the emergency department, calls for optimizing this practice through modifying physicians’ prescribing behavior. A 1-year, multifaceted intervention implemented in an emergency department decreased the mean monthly antimicrobial prescription rate at discharge and increased the proportion of appropriate prescriptions.
