The increased use of more expensive broad-spectrum antibiotics has had an impact on health care costs and the potential emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial drug prescription programs resulted in a significant reduction in the inappropriate use of certain antibiotics and in the pharmacy budget. The authors present the economic impact of an antimicrobial drug prescription program in a small community hospital.Downloads
