De-Implementation of Inappropriate Antimicrobial Use After Cardiac Device Procedures
Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development
Summary
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.
