Improving Antibiotic Use for ARIs in Urgent Care Clinics
Sponsor: Daniel Livorsi
Summary
Many clinicians prescribe antibiotics for patients with acute respiratory infections even when antibiotics will not benefit the patient because the infection is due to a virus. To discourage this type of unnecessary antibiotic use, the investigators will assess whether it is helpful to give clinicians feedback on how often they prescribe antibiotics for respiratory infections in comparison to their peers. The investigators will perform this study across Urgent Care and QuickCare clinics within a single healthcare system.
Official title: Randomized-controlled Trial to Assess Whether Feedback on a New Stewardship Metric Can Improve Antibiotic-prescribing for Acute Respiratory Tract Infections in Urgent Care Clinics
