Findings suggest that implementation strategies for technological solutions to antimicrobial resistance must be “behaviorally intelligent,” recognizing the challenges facing clinicians when making life or death prescribing decisions.

Most acknowledged the importance of stewardship, BUT test results often didn’t impact their prescribing decisions – especially if they were negative. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were often prescribed or continued even if the test suggested they weren’t necessary - “just-in-case” of infection

We interviewed clinicians about using rapid molecular diagnostic tests, which can aid the earlier refinement of antimicrobial therapy, to support ICU prescribing decisions for patients with suspected HAP/VAP.
