Impact of an Antiretroviral Stewardship Team on the Care of Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection Admitted to an Academic Medical Center

Abstract

Antiretroviral stewardship teams optimize patient care through identification and correction of antiretroviral-related errors. Errors may be more common in patients with multitablet inpatient regimens, admission to the intensive care unit, care provided by a surgery service, and increased number of hospital days reviewed. Once antiretroviral-related errors are identified, the ability to correct them provides cost savings.
