Abstract
Antimicrobial use among hospital-at-home (HaH) patients across three Mayo Clinic sites was evaluated from 2023 to 2024. Nearly three-quarters of patients were administered an antibiotic during HaH admission. Ceftriaxone was the most commonly used antibiotic and respiratory infections were the most common antimicrobial indication. Further investigation into stewardship opportunities is warranted.
