A multifaceted antimicrobial stewardship intervention to improve antibiotic utilization and prescribing for sinusitis in a large primary care network.

Abstract

A quality improvement project was implemented across a large primary care network to decrease antibiotic use and improve guideline-concordant therapy for acute sinusitis. The multifaceted intervention included education, EHR decision support, and individual prescriber feedback with peer comparison. The program was associated with improvements in guideline-concordant prescribing.
