Total duration of antimicrobial therapy resulting from inpatient hospitalization.
The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of electronic data capture of post-discharge durations and evaluate total durations of antimicrobial exposure related to inpatient hospital stays. Results showed that discharge antimicrobial therapy accounted for a large portion of antimicrobial exposure related to inpatient hospital stays and suggested that discharge prescription data can be feasibly captured through electronic prescribing records and may aid in designing stewardship interventions at transitions of care.
