The hardest challenge in stewardship remains.... the people (#doctors)!
You provide point-of-care measures of bacterial infection (Biofire & PCT measurements) for patients with respiratory infection, and.... no difference in antibiotic consumption. π€·

That...is not what I got. I asked it to write an email about antibiotics and it did a pretty good job.
Prompt: "Write an email convincing a surgeon to reduce antibiotic prophylaxis from 32 hours to 24 hours as per microbiology guidance."

**Less antibiotics prescribed & no worse outcomes**
My worry with these behaviour / feedback based stewardship interventions is how sustainable the change in practice is once the study has finished.

Provocative piece. Lots of AMS activity, but still a rise in total antimicrobial prescribing. Is this a failure?
Likely these statistics too coarse at population level to answer that question, but food for thought in this article ...
