A multisite intervention for pediatric community-acquired pneumonia in community settings
Academic Emergency Medicine Apr 22, 2018
McDaniel CE, et al. - Authors evaluated if implementation of a community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) pathway within 3 community hospital Emergency Departments (EDs) and inpatient units improved process measures related to appropriate laboratory testing and antibiotic prescribing. They also compared the performance of these measures between the community hospitals and a freestanding children's hospital. As per findings, adherence to evidence-based recommendations for laboratory testing and antibiotic stewardship was improved by the implementation of a CAP pathway through a multisite community hospital intervention. The quality of care for children with CAP on a population level could be improved by similar interventions, as community hospitals are where these patients are seen most frequently.
