Abstract:
Where possible, antimicrobials, such as clindamycin, should be given orally rather than intravenously when efficacy will be equivalent. A single-centre pre-/post-intervention study was conducted. There were 11 134 patients admitted to included wards during the study period. Following the intervention, there was a reduction in the ratio of intravenous to oral clindamycin usage (P < 0.001) and in the median number of doses of intravenous clindamycin administered per day in the included wards (median 6 vs. 10, P < 0.001). The development and use of an automated notification system for rationalising the use of intravenous clindamycin was feasible and may have applicability to other medications.
