Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ashleah Courtney's research focuses on evaluating and improving healthcare practices, particularly in the areas of antimicrobial prescribing and the management of infectious diseases. Her work has investigated the use of clinical decision support systems and electronic health record alerts to influence outpatient prescribing patterns of specific antibiotics, such as Cefdinir. Courtney has also examined the impact of implementing order sets on prescribing practices for pediatric urinary tract infections, comparing academic and non-academic children's hospitals. Her research extends to quality improvement initiatives, including an assessment of broad-spectrum antibiotic usage following the initiation of stewardship in a pediatric intensive care unit, and the feasibility of early antibiotic de-escalation in patients with viral encephalitis. Additionally, she has explored rare infectious causes, such as Pasteurella multocida in neonatal meningitis, and has contributed to genetic epidemiology studies, including work on Plasmodium vivax in the US. Courtney has a history of collaboration with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Adriana Sarmiento Clemente, Steven Dahl, and Holly Maples.
