What the CHOP group learned Audit and feedback works best when providers are mo&vated to change their behavior believe that an issue exists and can be changed In these studies, providers knew anµbial overuse was a problem, but did not think it was their problem Biggest issue for providers is real or imagined parental expecta&ons

PLAN WAYS TO IMPROVE
Where to start? CDC: Get Smart: Know When An&bio&cs Work hgps://www.cdc.gov/getsmart/community/index.html Acute sinusi&s, AOM, pharyngi&s, URI, bronchioli&s, UTI Handouts and posters for your office
Ways to Improve Provider educa&on sessions: diagnosis, journal clubs, communica&on skills CME online, Stanford An&bio&c Stewardship Course Dissemina&on of treatment guidelines in electronic and/or pocket guide formats Electronic decision support systems Requiring wrigen jus&fica&on in the EMR for nonrecommended an&bio&c prescribing Audit and feedback of an&bio&c orders Defer pa&ents who will not require an&bio&cs via nurse call centers or hotlines
Things to Target Choose bacterial infec&ons with clear cut guidelines CAP, GAS pharyngi&s, sinusi&s, AOM, celluli&s Focus on not prescribing an&bio&cs for viral diagnoses Choose an&bio&cs to limit
Reaching and Sustaining Outcomes Set reasonable goals, and then con&nually reassess expecta&ons There are not published studies to support par&cular methods of sustaining outcomes Choose a clinician champion, and do your best to work with them
