Article Synopsis
- A pilot study implemented a pharmacist-driven culture and rapid diagnostic technology follow-up program in the emergency department (ED) to improve antibiotic management for discharged patients.*
-
- The study found that introducing this program significantly reduced the time from ED discharge to culture/RDT data review by 36.3% and decreased fluoroquinolone prescriptions from 18.1% to 5.4%.*
-
- However, there was no significant difference in repeat ED visits or hospital admissions within 30 days between patients in the pre- and post-implementation groups.*
