|
Inclusion criteria: Hospitals will be randomized.
For baseline- and postintervention measurement data will be extracted from medical charts of patients.
Inclusion criteria for these patients are:
1. In- and outpatients from the departments Urology or Internal Medicine;
2. > 16 years;
3. Diagnosed and treated for a complicated UTI in 2008 (2007).

Intervention(s)
|
|
After a baseline measurement, hospitals will be randomized between two implementation strategies: a theory-based and effective, but labour-intensive strategy (the 'state-of-the-art' strategy) versus a currently popular strategy of providing public comparative information on quality of antibiotic care (the 'public reporting' strategy). In a post-intervention measurement, quality of antibiotic use will be assessed again for these departments.
|
|
Primary Outcome(s)
|
|
Quality of antibiotic use (measured by clinically validated indicators).
|
|
Secondary Outcome(s)
|
1. Cost-effectiveness;
2. Successful elements of the implementation strategy.
