Antibiotic use tracking in nursing homes is necessary for stewardship and regulatory requirements but may be burdensome. We used pharmacy data to evaluate whether once-weekly sampling of antibiotic use can estimate total use; we found no significant differences in estimated and measured antibiotic use.
养老院中的抗生素使用跟踪对于管理和监管要求是必要的,但可能会带来负担。我们使用药房数据来评估每周一次的抗生素使用抽样是否可以估计总使用量;我们发现估计和测量的抗生素使用量没有显著差异。
