OPAT pharmacy residency rotation
Abstract:
A novel pharmacy residency rotation was created to meet the needs of patients enrolled in an outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) program but not yet discharged from the inpatient setting. This service resulted in a high number of antimicrobial stewardship interventions identified and accepted by the primary team(s).
