OverviewAI-generated summary
Ashleah Courtney's research focuses on improving antimicrobial prescribing practices and understanding rare infectious diseases. Her work includes evaluating clinical decision support systems and electronic health record alerts to optimize outpatient prescribing, as demonstrated by a 2024 publication on cefdinir usage. Courtney also investigates the impact of order set implementation on prescribing for pediatric urinary tract infections and strategies for optimizing antibiotic duration in acute otitis media across different pediatric emergency departments. Her research extends to quality improvement initiatives aimed at limiting broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage for aspiration pneumonia and assessing antibiotic usage following stewardship interventions in pediatric intensive care units. Additionally, Courtney has contributed to understanding rare causes of neonatal meningitis and empyema, specifically those caused by *Pasteurella multocida*. She also explores the genetic epidemiology of *Plasmodium vivax* linked to malaria transmission in the U.S.
