Abstract
Beta-lactam antibiotics comprise 8-20% of all self-reported medication allergies. Antibiotic allergy misidentification is detrimental since broad-spectrum alternatives can lead to suboptimal treatment and potentiate resistance. The multidisciplinary Beta-lactam Allergy Assessment and Skin Testing (BLAAST) program was implemented to facilitate comprehensive allergy history documentation and increase use of targeted beta-lactams. The study objective was to assess rates of complete allergy histories and beta-lactam days of therapy (DOT-BL) per 1,000 days-present before versus after program implementation.
