Abstract

This retrospective cohort study estimated the association between prescription receipt and provider 5-star rating for adult visits with upper respiratory infections in a national telemedicine practice with active antibiotic stewardship initiatives. The odds of a 5-star rating were higher for visits with an antibiotic or nonantibiotic prescription and longer visits.
