209. Impact of a Risk-based CAP Prescribing Guideline Paired with Antimicrobial Stewardship to Improve Antibiotic Prescribing for Patients at Low Risk for Drug-Resistant Pathogens

摘要

BackgroundAntimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) reduce the burden of multidrug-resistant organisms and improve antibiotic prescribing. Concerns about drug-resistant pathogens (DRPs) in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) lead to over-prescribing of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and ASP interventions to improve CAP prescribing are not well defined. In 2017, our hospital implemented a CAP guideline for patients at low risk for DRPs along with ASP support. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the guideline with ASP support on CAP-specific antibiotic prescribing.
