Journal ArticleDOI
Development and impact of a computerized pediatric antiinfective decision support program.
TL;DR: Use of the pediatric anti Infective decision support tool in a PICU was considered beneficial to patient care by the clinicians and reduced the rates of erroneous drug orders, improved therapeutic dosage targets, and was associated with a decreased robust estimate of antiinfective costs per patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Rapid Respiratory Viral Diagnostic Testing on Antibiotic Use in a Children's Hospital
