Tools for Commitment to Antibiotic Stewardship

A randomized clinical trial in five outpatient primary care clinics found that displaying personalized public commitment posters in examination rooms resulted in a 19.7% decrease in inappropriate antibiotic prescribing for upper respiratory infections. This low-cost intervention has potential to enhance quality improvement efforts around antibiotic use.
