Accuracy of Provider-Selected Indications for Antibiotic Orders.

Documentation of antibiotic indication provides helpful information for antimicrobial stewardship, but accuracy is not understood. Review of 396 antibiotic orders in a pediatric ICU and adult medicine step-down unit found 90% agreement between provider-selected indication and independent review. Prompts to enter antibiotic indication during order entry provide largely accurate information. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2018;39:111-113.
