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.

- You were admitted from the emergency department to a general medicine or hospitalist ward.

This trial is a survey that asks doctors about their knowledge, attitudes, and practices around bloodstream infections and antibiotic use. It helps researchers understand how doctors think and act so they can improve patient care.
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.
