The INSPIRE-ASP UTI trial is a cluster-randomized controlled trial of HCA hospitals comparing routine empiric antibiotic stewardship practices with real-time precision medicine computerized physician order entry smart prompts providing the probability that a non-critically ill adult admitted with UTI is infected with a resistant pathogen. Note: that enrolled "subjects" represents 59 individual HCA hospitals that have been randomized.

Routine Antibiotic Stewardship Arm - Continuation of all antibiotic stewardship activities in accordance with national standards.
Quality improvement intervention: computerized physician order entry (CPOE) decision support alert that provides physicians with patient-specific risk estimate of having a UTI due to a multidrug resistant organism (MDRO) and recommends appropriate antibiotic choice for non-ICU patients in the first 3 days of hospitalization. Continuation of other antibiotic stewardship activities in accordance with national standards.
Extended-Spectrum Days Of Antibacterial Therapy (ES-DOT) Per Empiric Day
The number of different extended-spectrum antibacterials received by the patient each empiric day-of-therapy (outcome measure unit), averaged over the empiric days (the first 3 days of hospitalization), summed across all participants. Note that Days-of-Therapy unit is a standardized national measure for antibacterial use in hospitals. For clarity the calculation is as follows: we define a DOT for a particular ES antibiotic as a day in which any number of doses of that antibiotic is given. Different ES antibiotics are summed across the empiric days for each patient admission, then divided by the empiric days for that patient-admission to determine each admission's DOT per at-risk day. If an admission is less than 3 days, only the number of days the patient is admitted will contribute to the numerator and denominator.
Time frame: First 3 days of hospitalization for each patient during 15-month intervention period
Vancomycin Days of Antibacterial Therapy Per Empiric Day
The number of days that Vancomycin is received by the patient averaged over the empiric days (the first 3 days of hospitalization), summed across all participants. Note that Days-of-Therapy unit is a standardized national measure for antibacterial use in hospitals. For clarity the calculation is as follows: we define a DOT for a particular ES antibiotic as a day in which any number of doses of that antibiotic is given. Different ES antibiotics are summed across the empiric days for each patient admission, then divided by the empiric days for that patient-admission to determine each admission's DOT per at-risk day. If an admission is less than 3 days, only the number of days the patient is admitted will contribute to the numerator and denominator.
Time frame: First 3 days of hospitalization for each patient during 15-month intervention period
Antipseudomonal Antibiotic Days Of Therapy (ES-DOT) Per Empiric Day
The number of different antipseudomonals received by the patient each empiric day of therapy, averaged over the empiric days (the first 3 days of hospitalization), summed across all participants. Note that Days-of-Therapy unit is a standardized national measure for antibacterial use in hospitals. For clarity the calculation is as follows: we define a DOT for a particular ES antibiotic as a day in which any number of doses of that antibiotic is given. Different ES antibiotics are summed across the empiric days for each patient admission, then divided by the empiric days for that patient-admission to determine each admission's DOT per at-risk day. If an admission is less than 3 days, only the number of days the patient is admitted will contribute to the numerator and denominator.
