End Date: 06/30/2025

Description:
Join NCQA for a discussion about the integration of social and behavioral science principles into antibiotic stewardship. Speakers will highlight the impact of social factors on antibiotic prescribing and share practical, evidence based, real-world strategies that address these factors. This session will highlight a novel antibiotic stewardship program to improve clinician communication practices to address patient expectations for antibiotics.

Participants will learn the importance of considering the social and behavioral drivers of antibiotic prescribing in the design and implementation of improvement interventions. They will learn about evidence-based communication strategies clinicians can use to avoid inappropriate antibiotic prescribing and increase satisfaction with care.  Participants will be able to ask live questions about these topics.

What You Will Learn:

• Describe the social and behavioral factors that influence antibiotic prescribing 
• Understand the importance of using implementation strategies to promote the uptake of antibiotic stewardship across contexts 
• Describe key communication strategies clinicians can use to decrease inappropriate antibiotic prescribing and increase satisfaction during visits for acute respiratory infections
