Caleb Matteson presents on ophthalmic abx overuse in outpatient settings #hcsrn2023. ~80% of #conjunctivitis led to rx. Pink eye is self limiting, let’s practice watchful waiting. Watch out med schools-he’s an applicant this year! @COPedsHandshake #IDtwitter @HCSRN @ChildrensColo

We have partnered with @HFrostLab to launch #OASIS giving AUTOMATED antibiotic feedback reports for #AOM to our outpatient docs! Teamwork makes the dream work! #IDTwitter #ASP @COPedsHandshake

Check out our new pub in @ASHE_Journal! Cefdinir is overprescribed for AOM most commonly for penicillin “allergies” that are not true allergy. Outpatient allergy delabeling is needed! @COPedsHandshake @Peds_Hai_D @ChristineMacBr1 @HandshakeASP

Similar to @SamirShahMD work on time to positivity. The local data at @COpedsID @COPedsHandshake, 1st author @ChristineMacBr1 shows that nearly all blood cultures are positive at 24-36h, supporting a shortened “rule out”. https://t.co/zyWhbQI1NQ
