Summary
This study tested whether placing a sticker reminder on patient charts would encourage doctors to switch from intravenous (IV) to oral fluoroquinolone antibiotics sooner. The trial involved 168 adult patients with infections at a single hospital. The study was terminated early, so the full impact of this simple intervention remains unclear.
