What you'll learn

At the conclusion of this continuing education activity, the participant will be able to:

  1. Cite common outpatient infections for which antibiotics are often prescribed

  2. Discuss evidence-based antibiotic selections for each common infection

  3. Implement best practice recommendations for common outpatient infections as outlined by the American College of Physicians


Webinar description

In 2021, primary care physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners accounted for over 100 million outpatient antibiotic prescriptions. Alarmingly, an estimated 28% of these prescriptions were inappropriate, translating to around 30 million dispensed by pharmacists. Such figures underscore the crucial need for effective antibiotic management in the healthcare setting.

This course delves into the judicious use of outpatient antibiotics, emphasizing evidence-based medicine and clinical guidelines, particularly for respiratory, urinary, and skin/soft tissue infections. By examining each organ system in detail, the course contrasts the American College of Physicians’ guidelines with the latest recommendations from the Infectious Diseases Society of America. Highlighting the most appropriate antibiotics for specific infections ensures both prescribers and pharmacy personnel are well-equipped to make informed decisions, fostering a more robust antibiotic stewardship across healthcare.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
