摘要
The development of antibiotic resistance is a growing public health concern. Antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs) employ strategies to improve antibiotic prescribing practices. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to pilot an ASP with a focus on the management of sinusitis and pharyngitis. Antibiotic prescribing practices were evaluated before and after the implementation of the pilot ASP. The primary aim of this project was to improve the concordance of antibiotic prescribing practices with clinical practice guidelines. Although not statistically significant, it was noted that there was an improvement in adherence to clinical practice guidelines after the pilot ASP was implemented. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc.
