Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine if physician education coupled with audit and feedback of antibiotic prescribing can improve antibiotic prescribing by primary care clinicians.


Description:

Using a large, diverse pediatric primary care network sharing a comprehensive electronic health record (EHR), a cluster-randomized trial will be performed to determine the effectiveness of an outpatient antimicrobial stewardship bundle, including treatment guidelines coupled with audit and feedback of physician prescribing, to curb inappropriate antibiotic prescribing for respiratory tract infections.

Aim 1: To determine the impact of an outpatient antimicrobial stewardship bundle within a pediatric primary care network on antibiotic prescribing for conditions for which antibiotics are not indicated.

Hypothesis: Antimicrobial stewardship will decrease rates of antibiotic prescribing for conditions for which antibiotics are not indicated.

Aim 2: To determine the impact of an outpatient antimicrobial stewardship bundle within a pediatric primary care network on broad-spectrum antibiotic prescribing for conditions for which narrow-spectrum antibiotics are indicated.

Hypothesis: Antimicrobial stewardship will decrease the rate of broad-spectrum antibiotic prescribing for conditions for which narrow-spectrum antibiotics are indicated.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Reduction in the rate of broad-spectrum antibiotic prescribing for targeted conditions for which narrow-spectrum antibiotic therapy is indicated The primary outcome measure seeks to determine if the incorporation of treatment guidelines coupled with audit and feedback of physician prescribing can reduce the the rate of antibiotic prescribing for targeted conditions for which antibiotic therapy is not indicated. from 20 months prior through 13 months post intervention No
Secondary The rate of antibiotic prescribing for targeted conditions for which antibiotic therapy is not indicated The secondary outcome measure seeks to determine the rate of broad-spectrum antibiotic prescribing for targeted conditions for which narrow-spectrum antibiotic therapy is indicated. Thus, two classes of diagnoses will be collected: 1) respiratory tract infections for which no antibiotics are indicated, represented by a group codes indicating common infections with presumed viral etiology and 2) bacterial respiratory tract infections for which narrow spectrum antibiotics are indicated from 20 months prior through 13 months post intervention No
