Modeling operational quality metrics and costs of long-acting antibiotics for ABSSSI treatment in the emergency department.

CONCLUSIONS: LA pathway implementation for ABSSSI treatment in the ED supported improved efficiency, which may translate to economic value. As EDs continue to focus on improving key metrics such as throughput rate and LOS, LA pathway implementation should be considered as a potential approach for abbreviated ABSSSI treatment in the ED.
