179. A Passive Prescriber-Directed Electronic Alert Plus Prescriber Education Decreased Antibiotic Prescribing for Ambulatory Adults With Acute Uncomplicated Bronchitis in a Large Integrated Health System

摘要

BackgroundAntibiotics (ABX) are often prescribed for acute bronchitis (AB). Reducing inappropriate ambulatory ABX use is critical to combat ABX resistance and reduce ABX-related adverse events. We sought to determine the impact of a passive, prescriber-directed, electronic best practice alert (BPA) coupled with prescriber education on ABX prescribing for ambulatory adults with AB.
