Abstract: Although antibiotics are not required for treating uncomplicated upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), 1 which is mostly viral, they are often prescribed, fueling antibiotic resistance and loss of protective flora. Accordingly, many studies worldwide have tried to decrease inappropriate antibiotic prescribing behavior. 2 Letters jamainternalmedicine.com (Reprinted)

“…Clinical indicators regarding performance improvement and regular result reporting may be an excellent way to promote the use of the MDSS and gain trust. For example, public disclosure of antibiotic use rates effectively lowered the use of antibiotics for upper respiratory infections in South Korea [ 40 ]. Likewise, public disclosure about ADEs prevented by using the MDSS may help reduce alert override rates.…”

“…Thus, various and relatively effective health policies have been implemented to promote the prudent use of antibiotics, particularly for acute RTIs. These policies include separation of prescribing from dispensing, public educational campaigns, and public disclosure of physicians' antibiotic prescriptions (111213).

There have been few reports on the outcomes of these goverment-driven policies so far [ 17 18 ]. In this review, we describe the administrative antibiotic stewardship policies of the South Korean government and its effects on antibiotic use and resistance.…”
