Reducing Fluoroquinolone Use and Clostridioides difficile Infections in Community Nursing Homes Through Hospital–Nursing Home Collaboration

Nursing homes (NHs) are an important target for antibiotic stewardship (AS). We describe a collaborative model to reduce Clostridioides difficile infections (CDIs) in NHs through optimization of antibiotic use including a reduction in high-risk antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones.
