Description
Ronald Irwanto Natadidjaja and colleagues study, in a 2026 report, a digital guide helping Indonesian hospitals choose first antibiotics wisely. The tool, called e-RASPRO, sorts patients by risk and ties choices to the World Health Organization's Access, Watch, and Reserve grouping of antibiotics. Access drugs are preferred first choices, while Watch drugs need more care because resistance is a bigger worry. Ten hospitals took part.
The team gathered monthly prescribing data for 2024 and compared how fitting the first vein-given choices were against amounts of each drug class used. More fitting choices in lower-risk patients went with more penicillin, an Access drug, and less use of a Watch group of strong cephalosporins. The links held after time trends were removed. The authors are clear the study shows correlation, not proof the tool caused the shift. Still, the pattern fits the goal of steering care toward safer first choices.
