A scoping review examines OPAT implementation in Italy, suggesting improvements for national health strategies.
OPAT is feasible and increasingly used in Italy, but remains inconsistently implemented across regions. Broader adoption would benefit from national guidance, standardized protocols, and integrated stewardship frameworks. Future research should address comparative and cost-effectiveness, as well as equitable access, to support systematic scale-up aligned with national health priorities on antimicrobial resistance and community-based care.
