Accuracy of Administrative Data for Antimicrobial Administration in Hospitalized Children

J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc. 2018 Aug 17;7(3):261-263. doi: 10.1093/jpids/pix064.

Abstract

Administrative data are often used as a proxy for medication-administration record (MAR) data. Multicenter MAR data were compared retrospectively with administrative data from January 2010 through June 2013 from the Pediatric Health Information Systems database. We found that administrative data were more concordant with bill-upon-administration than bill-upon-dispense data.
