Abstract
We developed an outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) stewardship program in a freestanding children’s hospital to improve the appropriateness of OPAT prescribing. Introduction of the program enabled expert review of nearly 90% of the patients being prepared for discharge with OPAT and was associated with a 24% reduction in OPAT use.
