Abstract
Antibiotics are the most commonly prescribed medications in the pediatric outpatient setting, yet 30% to 50% of these prescriptions are deemed to be unnecessary. Outpatient antimicrobial stewardship is the concerted effort to monitor and improve antibiotic use in the community setting. The best methods of conducting antimicrobial stewardship in the outpatient setting are currently unknown, and an individualized approach is likely needed. In this review, we discuss the importance of, resources for, and research supporting outpatient antimicrobial stewardship and review ways an individual pediatric provider can further steward efforts.
