The antimicrobial stewardship committee wants to know who is prescribing too many broad-spectrum antibiotics. You have the data for six prescribers. One of them stands out immediately — and that is exactly the problem.
You will see a crude rate first. Before you draw any conclusion about a person you may drill into their case mix, their clinical setting and the guideline compliance behind the number. Each drill-down you open is recorded.
Two indices sit alongside your mark: Analytical rigour, which falls when you conclude from an unadjusted number, and Fairness, which falls when you name a prescriber the data does not convict.
