Summary

One in five hospitalized patients is prescribed an antimicrobial at the time of discharge, and a large proportion of these post-discharge antimicrobials are unnecessary. The investigators will evaluate a novel method for reviewing post-discharge antimicrobial prescriptions in real-time with the goal of improving antimicrobial selection and duration.
