This study proposes a prospective antibiotic review model to ensure rational drug use. The system screens antibiotic orders before dispensing, improving antibiotic stewardship.

Area of Science:

Pharmacology
Infectious Diseases
Health Services Research

Background:

Antibiotic resistance necessitates improved antibiotic stewardship.
Current antibiotic prescribing practices require enhanced oversight.
Rational antibiotic use is crucial for patient outcomes and public health.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a model for prospective antibiotic order review.
To enhance the rational use of antibiotics in clinical settings.
To implement a system for pre-dispensing antibiotic order screening.

Main Methods:

A screening procedure reviews antibiotic orders and patient drug profiles against established criteria before dispensing.
Noncompliant orders trigger follow-up with prescribers for justification or modification.
