Antimicrobial Stewardship in Primary Care: Audit and Feedback to Improve Antibiotic Prescribing

14 Nov 2024

12:00pm ET - 1:00pm ET

Peer comparison audit and feedback on antibiotic prescribing is a potentially scalable and effective intervention. Effective audit and feedback incorporate behavioural science principles to drive behaviour change and improve the quality of patient care. This talk on November 14 at 12:00 p.m. will review recent evidence on the effectiveness of antibiotic audit and feedback in primary care as well as current and future initiatives to incorporate audit and feedback into antimicrobial resistance action plans in Ontario.
