Abstract
The impact of electronic reminders encouraging early switches from intravenous to oral administration of antibiotics was studied in a hospital-wide, prospective, controlled trial. The reminders were displayed within electronic health records 60h after onset of intravenously administered antibiotic therapies if some patient-specific conditions were met. This intervention fostered early switching from intravenous to oral antibiotics, and thereby significantly reduced the mean duration of intravenous administration by 17%.
