How Can Technology Aid in Antibiotic Prescriptions?
Technology plays a significant role in optimizing antibiotic prescriptions. Electronic health records (EHRs) and clinical decision support systems (CDSS) can assist nurses and prescribers by providing timely reminders about guidelines, alerting them to potential drug interactions, and suggesting appropriate antibiotic choices based on the latest evidence. These tools help reduce errors and improve the quality of care provided to patients.
