NEW- 2018 IDSA Antimicrobial Guidelines For IV Therapy
OPAT is Outpatient Antimicrobial Therapy- in other words, doing IV antibiotics at home rather than at a clinic or hospital.
One of my favorite (NOT) lines... QUOTE- "All patients should have ID expert review prior to initiation of OPAT (strong recommendation, very low-quality evidence)."

What is an ID expert? What is concern about getting a review? What does (strong recommendation, low quality evidence) refer to?
