Antimicrobial Stewardship:
→ What syndrome? (e.g., UTI, bacteremia, etc.) What bug? (Use culture data. If none, what is most likely?)
→ What drug? (IV or PO?) Check local antibiogram. Initial duration of therapy?
→ Can I de-escalate? If on IV, can I switch to PO? Can I stop? (Use clinical data like vitals, WBC count and cultures to tailor therapy)
→ Discharge patient - Confirm type of IV access (if indicated) and if frequency of medication and lab is feasible at discharge destination
