Measure: Antibiotic selection for patients in non-ICU

Time Period Ending:  9/30/2012

Rate: 97%

What We Are Doing:
New evidence indicates that specific antibiotics work more effectively for pneumonia.  We have provided physicians with pocket guides to make the right decision about antibiotic selection.  We have standardized orders for patients with pneumonia that include the right antibiotics.  We provide physicians with feedback monthly about how they are doing.
