Problem: Less than 1 in 5 hospitals with monitor antibiotic use at hospital discharge, leading to antibiotic overuse. Antimicrobial Stewardship Program Transition of Care (ASP TOC) is a standard of care pharmacist-driven intervention: pharmacists pend discharge antimicrobial orders and write progress notes for patients with uncomplicated infections being discharged on antibiotics. Identification of ASP TOC opportunities through an electronic scoring system the electronic health record (EHR) may allow for earlier and more frequent identification of pharmacist intervention. Aim: To evaluate a systematic process using an electronic variable (ASP TOC LRTI variable) in the electronic scoring system to identify patients eligible for ASP TOC interventions in patients diagnosed with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI).
