摘要
To strengthen guidelines for vancomycin use,practical guidelines were developed. A prospective survey was conducted of all patients receiving vancomycin during two 1-month periods, 1 year apart, during which significant improvements were noted. Practical guidelines may contribute to appropriateness of vancomycin use, serve as educational tools, and facilitate improved surveillance (Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2000;21:4547).
