abstract = "We worked with patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers to prioritize barriers and propose solutions to outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) care. Unclear communication channels, rushed instruction, safe bathing with an intravenous catheter, and lack of standardized instructions were highly ranked barriers. Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy programs should focus on mitigating barriers to OPAT care.",
