Nurses armed with new tech fight back against unnecessary antibiotics
NCT ID NCT04255303
Summary
This study tested a new computer tool designed to help nurses decide when antibiotics are truly needed for common illnesses like coughs and sore throats. The goal was to see if giving nurses this guidance could reduce the number of inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions. Researchers measured how often antibiotics were prescribed before and after the tool was introduced in several clinics.
