Inappropriate antibiotic use is a long-standing public health issue. An estimated 30% of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions are inappropriate. Antibiotic stewardship aims to improve how antibiotics are prescribed by clinicians and used by patients. HEDIS® includes three measures that assess antibiotic prescribing for bronchitis/bronchiolitis, upper respiratory infection and pharyngitis – three conditions that drive significant levels of inappropriate prescribing in the U.S. These measures provide a framework for health plans to use their claims, pharmacy, and clinical data to identify, prioritize and monitor antibiotic stewardship efforts.
