WHAT IS OPAT?
Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy (OPAT)
• a method for delivering intravenous antibiotics without requirement for inpatient stay
• in the community or outpatient setting
• infections where requirement for IV antimicrobials is only reason for admission to or barrier to discharge from hospital
• has been used in many countries for over 30 years - evidence shows its clinical and cost effectiveness
![Page 4: OPAT in the UK - an overview of service provision](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ebc5503460f94bc4d5f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Models of delivering OPAT
• Ambulatory patient with attendance at health care facility– Hospital clinic/day unit– A+E
• Self or carer administration• Visiting nurse– NHS– private
![Page 5: OPAT in the UK - an overview of service provision](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ebc5503460f94bc4d5f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Examples within greater London
• GSTT– District nurses– Self/carer administration– Pilot community ‘virtual ward’
• UCH– Daily hospital attendance
• SGH– Private healthcare provider

WHY CONDUCT AN AUDIT?
• The implementation of OPAT services within the UK is still in the early stages
• To collect data on OPAT services in the UK -where they may or may not exist
• To assess current barriers to OPAT development and service provision
• The responses from the audit can form the benchmark for future audit
![Page 7: OPAT in the UK - an overview of service provision](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ebc5503460f94bc4d5f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
METHODOLOGYContact list derived from:
• A list of current microbiologists within the UK
• Delegate list from a previous OPAT meetings (March 2011 and Dec 2011)
• Contact details of hospitals who have either expressed an interest in or implemented an OPAT database

• The majority use an NHS model (62%), many use an ‘In home by patient/carer’ model (21%), and only 8% currently use a private homecare provider
• Only 2 out of 70 claimed their choice of OPAT model was due to the fact they were unaware of alternatives, the majority chose ‘model already exists’ (50), and many said it was the cheapest (26)
• 86% wish to extend there current service
• Biggest barrier to extending = nurse/clinician resource (43%)
• Majority use database (57%), however nearly all uses a hospital version (98%)

• 80% said they would like to develop a service
• The majority claimed the most important reason for not having a service was ‘cost’
• The majority would choose an NHS model (59%), and only 9% would choose a private homecare provider
• When asked about important considerations when choosing models ALL were of similar importance
• Majority at early stages of development (88%), if at all. Very few centres are in the final stages
• Main barrier = nurse/clinician resource (47%) or difficulty forming a business case application (22%)
