Antibiotic Outbreak, Risk Factors for Never Event, Prediction of Inappropriate Use

Completed

Conditions studied: Infectious Disease

In brief

In order to decrease inappropriate antibiotic use, drivers of inappropriate use must be identified locally. This study will focus on the MOST inappropriate use, which are defined as 'never events'. Previous work has shown that antibiotic use clusters over time. It is hypothesized that never events also cluster over time. Using electronic data capture strategies, an algorithm will be developed to quickly and accurately identify areas of antibiotic use concern. Secondly, a framework will be developed, utilizing antimicrobial consumption data and captured signals of inappropriate antimicrobial use to provide targets for antimicrobial stewardship efforts.
