Detailed Description
The overall objective of the proposed investigation is to assess the feasibility of a pilot embedded pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial (ePCT) to reduce the duration of antibiotic therapy and number of antibiotic prescriptions among nursing home residents with AD/ADRD. With the support of three independently owned and operated nursing homes that are unaffiliated with an academic medical center, we have developed the multicomponent intervention, eCARE-ID (Electronic Consultation for AD/ADRD Residents Experiencing Infectious Diseases). eCARE-ID consists of three components: 1) Tele-ID video clinical consultation services for nursing home residents; 2) electronic consultation (e-consultation) services for healthcare personnel at participating nursing homes; and 3) Tele-ID video antibiotic stewardship services for healthcare personnel including pharmacists at participating nursing homes.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Duration of antibiotic therapy in nursing home residents [6 months]
The primary outcome will be defined as the duration of antibiotic therapy in nursing home residents with AD/ADRD, measured as the total days of antibiotic therapy per 1000 resident-days among residents with ADRD.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of antibiotic prescriptions in nursing home residents [6 months]
The secondary outcome will be defined as the number of antibiotic prescriptions in nursing home residents with AD/ADRD, defined as the total number of antibiotic prescriptions per 1000 resident-days among residents with AD/ADRD.
