Can I Go Home Yet? Antibiotic Strategies to Move Toward Outpatient Treatment - On Demand 2026
Discharge sooner without cutting corners. In lively, case-based debates, you’ll transition stable patients from IV to oral therapy, shorten courses safely, and facilitate outpatient care for UTIs, skin/soft tissue infections, bacteremia, and joint complications. You’ll explore evidence to distinguish who can go home now and who shouldn’t. Leave ready to design and apply concise, high-value antibiotic plans that cut readmissions and elevate patient-centered care.
