Evaluating antibiotic prescriptions and standardized surveillance definitions among infections in home-based primary care.

Between 2023 - 2024, 60 infections (urinary tract, n = 31; skin/soft tissue, n = 18; pneumonia, n = 7; influenza-like illness, n = 5) were diagnosed by home-based primary care clinicians from one site, including 35% through telehealth. 43% met standardized surveillance definitions. Most antibiotic prescriptions (n = 27/48) involved durations ≥7 days. Additional studies of home care infections are needed.
