Doctors get report cards on antibiotic use to protect patients
NCT ID NCT07368660
Summary
This study tested a simple idea: if doctors see how their antibiotic prescribing habits compare to their peers, will they prescribe fewer unnecessary antibiotics? Researchers tracked 147 hospital doctors across four hospitals. Every two months, doctors received an email showing their prescribing rate compared to others, aiming to safely reduce overuse and lower patient risks like infections and diarrhea.
