Peer Comparison of Anti-MRSA Agent Prescription in the Inpatient Setting
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 October 2017
Abstract
Peer comparison has potential as an effective antimicrobial stewardship intervention in the inpatient setting. We report a new metric, days of therapy per 100 service days, for comparing antibiotic utilization. Among 14 prescribers on the primary infectious diseases service during a 6-month period, we identified 1 outlier for each anti-MRSA agent.
