Condition(s) targeted: All Hospitalzied Patients; No Specific Conditions Requires
Intervention: ID fellow-based antibiotic pre-authorization (Procedure); Pharmacist-based antibiotic pre-authorization (Procedure)
Phase: N/A
Status: Recruiting

Summary
We will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial to compare two antibiotic
pre-authorization strategies (Fellow-based vs. Pharmacist-based). We believe that amount and
duration of antibiotic consumption would be lower in the pharmacist group while the clinical
outcome would be equivalent between two groups.
