May support anesthesia feedback systems for timely antibiotics; leaves open confirmation via randomized implementation trials.
Does an anesthesia information system providing physician-specific feedback improve the timely administration of prophylactic antibiotics in surgical patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 92% vs 69%
Providing provider-specific feedback via an anesthesia information system significantly improves compliance with timely prophylactic antibiotic administration before surgery.
Reilly et al. (2006) studied Elective surgery. Anesthesia clinical information system with provider-specific feedback vs. Historical baseline (before project initiation) was evaluated on Administration of prophylactic antibiotics within 60 minutes of incision. Implementing an anesthesia information system with provider-specific feedback increased the proportion of patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics within 60 minutes of incision from 69% to 92%.
