Abstract

Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) is a treatment model to provide intravenous antimicrobials for medically stable patients after hospital discharge. Our OPAT program was enhanced through the addition of a nurse specialist who provides services including treatment coordination, disease monitoring, and care communication (post-intervention group). This study aims to quantify 30 and 60-day OPAT program-related readmission rates and associated costs between pre- and post-intervention programs at an academic healthcare system from a payer’s perspective.
