Improving adherence to stress ulcer prophylaxis guidelines: a two-pronged approach 1 stars

submitted by Uri Goldberg 10 years ago

Description

Poster presented at the American Medical Association Research Symposium in Dallas, Texas, November 2014. We explored mechanisms of reducing unnecessary stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) in hospitalized patients. A brief presentation of the guidelines and the evidence supporting them reduced unnecessary SUP by roughly 30%, resulting in an expected $80,000 yearly savings to the hospital. We anticipate further reductions following the initiation of an automated alert in the computerized ordering sytem.
