Abstract

Faced with national requirements to promote antimicrobial stewardship and reduce drug-resistant infections, community hospitals are challenged to make the best use of existing resources. Eighteen months after building antibiotic decision support into our electronic order platform, high-risk antibiotic use decreased by 83% (P<.001) at our community hospital. Hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile infections declined 24% (P=.07).
