From IDWeek Meeting
In a study of 61,000 patients with skin and soft tissue infections across 92 hospitals, a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system with prompts was compared to standard care with routine antibiotic stewardship. The CPOE intervention, which provided real-time, patient-specific risk estimates, reduced extended-spectrum and antipseudomonal antibiotic use by 28%, without affecting safety outcomes or length of stay. These results suggest that automated, patient-specific tools can effectively promote high-value care and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use in hospitals.
Masha Allah well done. Keep it up.
Many congratulations 🙌.
