De-Implementation of Inappropriate Antimicrobial Use After Cardiac Device Procedures

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Antibiotics Causing Adverse Effects in Therapeutic Use

In brief

This project will use automated audit and feedback to improve compliance with antimicrobial prophylaxis guidelines for CIED procedures that we anticipate will translate into better outcomes for our patients. A multi-faceted implementation bundle to promote de-implementation of guideline discordant care will be tested at three intervention sites. Materials and tools will then be disseminated throughout the VA healthcare system if the intervention is found to be effective.
