Summary

Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) has been recognised as a useful, cost-effective and safe alternative to inpatient treatment, but no formal OPAT unit existed in Switzerland until recently. In December 2013 an OPAT unit was established at Lausanne University Hospital. The investigators plan to investigate the efficacy, safety and economicity of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy administered at the new OPAT unit of the Lausanne University Hospital starting in January 2014 until December 2020.
