It's U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week!?? Did you know the outpatient setting accounts for more than 60% of antibiotic expenditures, with at least 28% of all outpatient antibiotic prescriptions being unnecessary? These include prescriptions given for conditions that don’t require antibiotics, inappropriate antibiotic selection, or incorrect dosing or duration. In 2022, Tennessee stood out in the darkest blue on the map, with an outpatient antibiotic prescription rate of 967 prescriptions per 1,000 population — the 7th highest in the nation. This week, join the Tennessee Department of Health’s antibiotic-themed webinars to learn more about improving antibiotic use and combating resistance. Together, we can make a difference! ??https://bit.ly/40OCEUa.
