@ASP_Chat Nice summary by @pewtrusts on the drivers of inappropriate antibiotic use in outpatient settings from the physician's perspective: 1. Patient pressure 2. Time constraints 3. Diagnostic uncertainty 4. Externalized responsibility #ASPChat https://t.co/6oboHDyVsk

@ASP_Chat A1. Misunderstanding the dangers of antibiotics is a major driving force for inappropriate antibiotic use in the community IMO. To augment it we need a multi-pronged approach and can perhaps learn from our infection control colleagues w/ their bundled interventions. #ASPchat

@ASP_Chat To add to the discussion, too many time constraints on primary care physicians, with too short of a clinic visit to fully discuss reasoning behind withholding abx. #ASPchat
Bug Pharmacist 💊🧫 Tim Gauthier @IDstewardship
@ASP_Chat A1. Antibiotic restrictions can help inpatient and I think they can play a major role outpatient if you can work out the logistics / avoid having people who really need tx going without for too long. #ASPchat

@ASP_Chat A1. Language + cultural challenges also drive some inappropriate abx use... Ex: positive urine culture report should never be referred to as a “UTI” as many people tend to call it... Ex2: What we expect our patients expect and what we fear drives prescribing behavior #ASPchat

@Freestylepharm1 @ASP_Chat 👍 There is a link between greater patient volumes and likelihood of antibiotic inappropriateness. So solutions need to take into account time pressures in this setting. https://t.co/hHuZw3NSAf #ASPChat
Bug Pharmacist 💊🧫 Tim Gauthier @IDstewardship
@ASP_Chat A2. I like the idea of: meeting people through trusted colleagues, build relationships by being a trusted resource, then give feedback with data plus compare to peers. This is probably unrealistic in many instances, I know. #ASPchat I find people don’t care for 🍩 TBH 😳🤷‍♂️
Brian McCullough, PharmD, BCPS, BCIDP @Freestylepharm1
@ASP_Chat Sorry, the above is in regards to AMS guidelines, and of course I forgot to include #ASPchat #noob
Brad Langford @BRxAD
@ASP_Chat Engaging prescribers requires addressing the known drivers of antibiotic misuse. It means more than education and addressing behavioral factors associated with overuse. Peer comparison, delayed prescriptions, communications training are some known effective approaches. #ASPChat

@BRxAD @ASP_Chat @pewtrusts These seem to sum up well the unnecessary antibiotics, but another major problem is there is still some disbelief in "shorter is better". We will be publishing some data soon showing cystitis is generally treated for too long in community health centers. #ASPChat

@Freestylepharm1 @ASP_Chat Preach! Pharmacists should be doing more driving and less behind the scenes work now and in the future. That will require some culture changes. #ASPchat

Brad Langford @BRxAD
@BWDionne @ASP_Chat @pewtrusts We did some qualitative interviews and found that there's still work to do with "shorter is better". Most common was the pervasive misconception that not finishing a "complete" antibiotic course could lead to resistance. #ASPChat

@ASP_Chat A3. Beware logistically putting up posters may be more challenging in practice than at face value, may require many approvals / endorsements. Start with leadership and use your committees PRN. #ASPchat #Nudging
Brandon Dionne @BWDionne
@IDstewardship @Freestylepharm1 @ASP_Chat There is some data that providing an alternative treatment (e.g., symptomatic relief or wellness kits) may help as well. Sometimes patients just want to have their concerns acknowledged in some way. #ASPChat
Brad Langford @BRxAD
@ASP_Chat Nudging aims to change "choice architecture" and maintain prescriber autonomy. It is best in circumstances where more assertive approaches are not needed. It falls right in the middle of the Nuffeild ladder where greater degrees of intensiveness are higher on the ladder. #ASPChat https://t.co/KLv9uOBLg6
Brad Langford @BRxAD
@ASP_Chat Where nudging appears to be particularly promising is guiding decision making in microbiology reporting through either changing the default choice, changing the order of options, or adding "framing" with comments to help guide decision making. https://t.co/9H3BjL6MM5 #ASPChat

@BRxAD @ASP_Chat @pewtrusts Give them a shorter course and they're more likely to finish it. #ASPChat https://t.co/8mXt892zVp
Bug Pharmacist 💊🧫 Tim Gauthier @IDstewardship
@BWDionne @Freestylepharm1 @ASP_Chat Concur. This is where shared decision making and focusing on the primary complaint can curb the conversation away from the request for a Zpak, which some folks legitimately think is a MVI 🤦‍♂️. #ASPchat I like the idea of wellness kits, esp if u can taylor a bit by patient case.
