Antibiotic prescribing for respiratory tract infections in urgent care: a comparison of in-person and virtual settings.
The authors used electronic health record data from the Cleveland Clinic Health System for this retrospective study on virtual versus in-person urgent care antibiotic prescribing for respiratory tract infections (RTIs). The results showed that antibiotic prescriptions were more common in virtual urgent care, even among physicians who provided care in both platforms. The authors noted that these results appear related to the high rate of sinusitis diagnosis in virtual urgent care.

Quality of antibiotic prescribing in a large direct-to-patient telehealth program: an observational study.
This study looked at the quality of antibiotic prescribing in direct-to-patient (DTP) telehealth visits compared to primary care visits, retail clinics, urgent care, or emergency department (ED). Claims were examined for 2,400,198 visits who were continually enrolled with a large national health insurer during 2016-2017 and treated for acute respiratory infection (ARI), or for women uncomplicated UTI. For streptococcal pharyngitis, the authors further measured whether a culture or rapid Group A Streptococcus test was done. Antibiotic prescription management for ARIs and UTIs was guideline-concordant comparable between televisits and several other settings. Patients with pharyngitis who received antibiotics were less likely to receive rapid Strep testing for televisits compared with primary care, retail clinics, urgent care, and EDs.

Antibiotic stewardship in direct-to-consumer telemedicine: translating interventions into the virtual realm.
This article discusses using the core elements for outpatient antibiotic stewardship as a framework for direct-to-consumer (DTC) telemedicine. There is limited scholarship regarding adapting and implementing antibiotic stewardship principles in this setting. The authors discussed utilizing the core elements for outpatient antibiotic stewardship as a framework for efforts moving forward.
