Abstract
Decision Support Tools for Antibiotic PrescribingChoosing the right antibiotic is challenging. Unnecessarily broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment promotes antimicrobial resistance; inappropriately narrow-spectrum antibiotic use can lead to treatment failure. A cluster-randomized trial of a model-informed clinical decision support tool is proposed for guiding empiric antibiotic therapy for hospitalized patients with suspected infection.
