A systematic review on how primary care electronic medical record data have been used for antimicrobial stewardship.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This systematic review aims to synthesize evidence from current literature to describe how Electronic Medical Record (EMR) primary care data have been used for antimicrobial stewardship activities internationally.

Design

Systematic literature review.

Methods

We searched Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science from January 1, 2013 to September 23, 2023 to retrieve studies that included concepts of "antimicrobial stewardship," "primary care," and "electronic medical records." We used narrative synthesis to classify and interpret results. Data were grouped and tabulated by similar themes and concepts, including strengths, facilitators, barriers, and limitations for antimicrobial stewardship.<
