We evaluated the impact of an electronic health record based 72-hour antimicrobial time-out (ATO) on antimicrobial utilization. We observed that 6 hours after the ATO, 21% of empiric antimicrobials were discontinued or de-escalated. There was a significant reduction in the duration of antimicrobial therapy but no impact on overall antimicrobial usage metrics.
我们评估了基于电子病历的 72 小时抗菌药物暂停(ATO)对抗菌药物使用的影响。我们观察到,ATO 后 6 小时,21%的经验性抗菌药物被停用或降级。抗菌药物治疗持续时间显著缩短,但对抗菌药物使用总量指标没有影响。
