Implementation of An Antibiotic Stewardship Intervention to Reduce Prescription of Fluoroquinolones: A Human Factors Analysis in Two Intensive Care Units.

Antibiotic use is often the target of interventions in health care organizations that aim to decrease healthcare-associated infections (HAI) such as (CDI); this is particularly important for fluoroquinolones (FQ), which are frequently used in critical care settings. In this study, using a multiple case study research approach, we conduct an in-depth analysis of an intervention aimed at limiting ICU prescriber access to FQ in two ICUs of two hospitals. The data collection and analysis were guided by a human factors engineering approach based on the SEIPS (Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety) model and evidence-based implementation principles.

Sustainable Transportation and Health.

We are experiencing a shift in thinking about Transportation and Mobility, which makes this Special Issue on Sustainable Transportation and Health in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health especially timely.[..
