Conclusion
ACUTE CYSTITIS
Our analysis showed the educational intervention was effective at increasing use of nitrofurantoin and decreasing use of ciprofloxacin and TMP-SMX for treatment of uncomplicated acute cystitis. This intervention demonstrated that high quality educational interventions with clearly stated recommendations for action, supported by robust evidence and individualize prescribing pattern comparisons, have the potential to significantly change family physician prescribing patterns in the primary care setting. Physician feedback was overwhelmingly positive towards the quality of evidence and accuracy of data, with over half indicating they learned something new. Further educational interventions with well documented methods will assist future studies identify key factors that improve evidence-based prescribing changes.
