Abstract
According to the Centers for Disease Control, (CDC, 2018) at least thirty percent of outpatient antibiotics are unnecessary. A retrospective 2018 study by Incze, M.A. Redberg, R.F. and Katz M. found forty nine percent of antibiotic prescriptions in the urgent care setting were for inappropriate diagnosis. The aim of this study was to educate providers on one method of reducing antibiotic prescriptions and incorporate new patient instructions into the electronic health record. Participants included physicians associates and nurse practitioners.
