183. Alerting and Education via the Electronic Health Record (EHR) Decreases Inappropriate Fluoroquinolone prescribing in the Emergency Department of a Large Integrated Hospital Network

摘要

BackgroundEmergency department (ED) providers frequently use fluoroquinolones (FQs) as first-line therapy for common infections in discharged patients. In 2016 the FDA issued a warning against FQ use for three common conditions: cystitis, bronchitis, and sinusitis. This study evaluated the effect of an electronic health record (EHR) clinical decision support alert followed by targeted provider education on FQ prescribing in the ED.
