Abstract
Providers in pediatric post-acute care facilities were surveyed about knowledge of and resources for antimicrobial stewardship. All agreed that antibiotics were overused in such pediatric facilities, but 60% had not implemented stewardship strategies. Lack of treatment guidelines (47%) was identified as the most common barrier to antimicrobial stewardship.Entities:
