Retrospective evaluation of an intervention bundle on OPAT implementation in a large non-university hospital.

Objectives: Optimization of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) requires interdisciplinarity and an operational algorithm. This report retrospectively assesses the impact of a multimodal quality-enhancement intervention bundle on the implementation rate, efficacy, and safety of a home OPAT program in a Belgian large community-based hospital.

Methods: OPAT recipients between 1 March 2019 and 30 June 2022 were included.
