Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a structured package (bundle) in reducing the use of antimicrobials and hospital stay of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), and no increase in mortality of these patients in different hospitals.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Antimicrobial use in patients hospitalized for CAP. [twelve months]
It is measured in defined daily doses (DDD) per 100 hospital stay of patients hospitalized with CAP.
- Mortality rate to 30 days [twelve months]
Number of death of patients hospitalized with CAP, stratified by CURB-65 score.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- CAP severity CURB-65 or PSI registered. [twelve months]
Implementation of quality indicators in the management of CAP. They are expressed as dichotomous variables (yes / no): Numbers of doctors who register on the clinical history the evaluation of CAP severity by CURB-65 or PSI at hospitalization.
- Microbiological samples at admission. [twelve months]
Implementation of quality indicators in the management of CAP. They are expressed as dichotomous variables (yes / no): Numbers of doctors who taking all microbiological samples recommended in the guideline in the first 6 hours of patient admission.
- Appropriate supportive treatment [Twelve months]
Implementation of quality indicators in the management of CAP. They are expressed as dichotomous variables (yes / no): Number of doctors who take supportive treatment according to guideline during the hospitalization.
- Empirical treatment [Twelve months]
Implementation of quality indicators in the management of CAP. They are expressed as dichotomous variables (yes / no): Number of doctors who prescribed empirical treatment according to the guideline at admission.
- Appropriate sequential therapy. [Twelve months]
Implementation of quality indicators in the management of CAP. They are expressed as dichotomous variables (yes / no): Number of doctors who switch to oral therapy according to guideline.
- Specific antimicrobial treatment [Twelve months]
Implementation of quality indicators in the management of CAP. They are expressed as dichotomous variables (yes / no): Number of doctors who prescribed the specific antimicrobial treatment defined in the guideline
- Total duration of antibiotic therapy. [Twelve months]
Implementation of quality indicators in the management of CAP. They are expressed as dichotomous variables (yes / no): Number of doctors who prescribe an antimicrobial treatment during 7 days or less, or 5 days or less after clinical improvement.
