Next Steps in Ambulatory Stewardship

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Most antibiotics are prescribed in ambulatory setting and at least 30% to 50% of these prescriptions are unnecessary. The use of antibiotics when not needed promotes the development of antibiotic resistant organisms and harms patients by placing them at risk for adverse drug events and Clostridioides difficile infections. National guidelines recommend that health systems implement antibiotic stewardship programs in ambulatory settings. However, uptake of stewardship in ambulatory setting has remained low. This review discusses the current state of ambulatory stewardship in the United States, best practices for the successful implementation of effective ambulatory stewardship programs, and future directions to improve antibiotic use in ambulatory settings.
