FADIC Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy
(OPAT)
Introduction
- Patients may be managed without admission or may transition to OPAT following hospitalisation. By minimising hospital stay, OPAT is increasingly recognised as a cost-efficient and acceptable management strategy for a variety of selected patients requiring either short- or medium-to long-term parenteral therapy.
- The definition of OPAT is the administration of parenteral antimicrobial therapy in at least 2 doses on different days without intervening hospitalisation.
- The primary goal of an OPAT program is to allow patients to complete treatment
safely and effectively in the comfort of their home or another outpatient site.
