Abstract

This study evaluated the feasibility of utilizing routinely collected EHR data to calculate pre-developed quality indicators on antibiotic use. Three out of four indicators were found feasible. Main barriers included local codes for lab tests and surveillance cultures and lack of data on empirical prescription. Future studies should include data from multiple ICUs to test the variations in QIs between ICUs.
