We introduced a long-term care facility (LTCF) Infectious Disease (ID) consult service (LID) that provides on-site consultations to residents of a VA LTCF. We determined the impact of the LID service on antimicrobial use and Clostridium difficile infections at the LTCF. A 160-bed Veterans Affairs (VA) LTCF. Systemic antimicrobial use and the rate of positive C. difficile tests at the LTCF were compared for 36 months before and 18 months after the initiation of the ID consultation service using segmented regression analysis of an interrupted time-series. In contrast to the pre-intervention period, total systemic antibiotic administration decreased by 30% (P <.001) with a significant reduction in both oral (32%; P<.001) and intravenous agents (25%; P =.008). The greatest reductions were seen for tetracyclines (64%, P <.001), clindamycin (61%; P <.001), sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (38%; P <.001), fluoroquinolones (38%; P <.001) and beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations (28%; P <.001). Rates of change for positive C. difficile tests at the LTCF declined in the post- vs. preintervention periods (P = .04). Implementation of a LTCF ID service led to a significant reduction in total antimicrobial use. Bringing providers with infectious disease expertise to the LTCF represents a new and effective means to achieve antimicrobial stewardship.
