Comparing antibiotic prescribing to help doctors improve
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving doctors a report comparing their antibiotic prescribing to their peers can improve how antibiotics are used. If you are a general medicine patient who stayed in the hospital for a short time, this study may help make antibiotic use safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your hospital stay was 14 days or less.
- You were admitted from the emergency department to a general medicine or hospitalist ward.
- You are not receiving palliative care (comfort-focused care).
- You were not in the intensive care unit (ICU) during your stay.

This study gives doctors in British Columbia feedback on how they prescribe antibiotics, with the goal of improving antibiotic use and reducing resistance. If you are a patient, you may be included if you receive an antibiotic prescription from a participating doctor.
This study tests a program to help intensive care units (ICUs) use antibiotics more wisely. It aims to improve how antibiotics are prescribed to reduce side effects and resistance.
This trial tests a quality improvement program to help ICUs use fewer antibiotics without compromising patient safety. It looks at how well the intervention works to reduce antimicrobial use in critically ill patients.
This study looks at how to improve the use of antibiotics (antimicrobial stewardship) in general practice clinics. It aims to find the best ways to help doctors prescribe antibiotics only when needed.
This study looks at how doctors and patients make decisions together about using antibiotics wisely in the hospital. If you are a patient who was treated with antibiotics for an infection while hospitalized, or a senior doctor who cares for such patients, this trial may be a fit.
This trial looks at whether a rapid molecular test can help doctors choose the right antibiotics faster for hospitalized patients. It aims to improve how antibiotics are used and reduce unnecessary side effects.
