  • Description:
    Most antibiotic prescribing in the United States occurs in the outpatient setting, and studies show ample opportunity for improvement (1,2). Although antibiotics are an incredible resource and can save lives, any antibiotic use can cause side effects and contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance which can lead to antibiotic-resistant infections, associated hospitalizations and poor outcomes, and increases in healthcare costs.

    Improving Outpatient Antibiotic Prescribing: A Toolkit for Healthcare Payers provides a framework for antibiotic stewardship for health payers to support efforts to improve outpatient antibiotic prescribing. Recognizing that healthcare payers are leaders in healthcare quality improvement and play a unique role in improving outpatient antibiotic use, this toolkit contains materials and examples specific for this audience.

    Improving Outpatient Antibiotic Prescribing: A Toolkit for Healthcare Payers is a publication of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
