All Hospitalzied Patients Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Comparative Study of ID Fellow-based Pre-authorization VS. Pharmacist-based Pre-authorization in Reducing Antibiotic Consumptions and Hospital Expenditures
We will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial to compare two antibiotic pre-authorization strategies (Fellow-based vs. Pharmacist-based). We believe that amount and duration of antibiotic consumption would be lower in the pharmacist group while the clinical outcome would be equivalent between two groups.
Study design: A cluster randomized controlled trial Settings: 6 general medical wards at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand ;
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
