Improving paediatric antimicrobial stewardship in remote and regional Queensland hospitals: development and qualitative evaluation of a tailored intervention for intravenous-to-oral antibiotic switching.

Future AMS activities should be guided by users and provide opportunities for tailoring tools to practice setting and patients' requirements.
