Antimicrobial utilization is high at RFM hospital. Identified targets for quality improvement programs include encouraging earlier switching to oral antimicrobials, reducing extended use for surgical prophylaxis and encouraging greater sensitivity testing and documentation stop dates. The development of the App appreciably reduced data collection times and analysis, and would be recommended for use in other public hospitals.
