+COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In 2021, primary care physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners accounted for over 100 million outpatient antibiotic prescriptions. Alarmingly, an estimated 28% of these prescriptions were inappropriate, translating to around 30 million dispensed by pharmacists. Such figures underscore the crucial need for effective antibiotic management in the healthcare setting.
This course delves into the judicious use of outpatient antibiotics, emphasizing evidence-based medicine and clinical guidelines, particularly for respiratory, urinary, and skin/soft tissue infections. By examining each organ system in detail, the course contrasts the American College of Physicians’ guidelines with the latest recommendations from the Infectious Diseases Society of America. Highlighting the most appropriate antibiotics for specific infections ensures both prescribers and pharmacy personnel are well-equipped to make informed decisions, fostering a more robust antibiotic stewardship across healthcare.
+LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this continuing education activity, the participant will be able to:
-Cite common outpatient infections for which antibiotics are often prescribed
-Discuss evidence-based antibiotic selections for each common infection
-Implement best practice recommendations for common outpatient infections as outlined by the American College of Physicians
