Abstract

Understanding provider perceptions of antimicrobial use (AU) feedback is important for optimal implementation. A survey addressing AU attribution scenarios, feedback methods, and implementation barriers was distributed to inpatient providers. As AU scenarios became more complex, disagreement regarding AU attribution arose. All providers were highly concerned about barriers to AU reporting.
