Abstract:Implications for practice and research: Although early switch therapy and hospital discharge are well-recognised processes, current practices show that these practices are not well established worldwide. Pathways are useful tools to remind treating physicians about criteria for early switch and discharge. A behavioural change may be necessary in order to decrease the gap between national recommendations and current management of hospitalised patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
