Impact of a pharmacy resident on a transitions of care rotation for inpatients enrolled in an outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) program.

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).
