This quality improvement project tracked broad-spectrum antibiotic use in a pediatric clinic. Electronic tools collected data on antibiotic prescribing patterns, clinical factors, and shared decision-making to enhance antibiotic stewardship.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
  • Antimicrobial Stewardship
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Broad-spectrum antibiotic use in pediatric settings requires detailed data for effective stewardship.
  • Existing pharmacy data lacked linkage to diagnoses, patient volume, and clinical decision-making factors.
  • Quality improvement initiatives are crucial for optimizing antibiotic prescribing patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use in a pediatric clinic.
  • To identify clinical factors and shared decision-making influences on antibiotic prescribing.
  • To leverage electronic data collection for improved antibiotic use insights.

Main Methods:

  • A quality improvement project was conducted in an affiliated pediatric clinic.
