Antimicrobial Stewardship at Transitions of Care to Outpatient Settings: Synopsis and Strategies
Abstract
infection, continue to serve as significant threats in the United States, with increasing incidence in the community setting. While much attention has been granted towards antimicrobial stewardship in acute care settings, the transition to the outpatient setting represents a significant yet overlooked area to target optimized antimicrobial utilization. In this article, we highlight notable areas for improved practices and present an interventional approach to stewardship tactics with a framework of disease, drug, dose, and duration. In doing so, we review current evidence regarding stewardship strategies at transitional settings, including diagnostic guidance, technological clinical support, and behavioral and educational approaches for both providers and patients.
