Antibiotics play a crucial role in preventing surgical site infections, yet adherence to Infectious Disease Society of America guidelines varies widely. This qualitative study aimed to explore factors influencing perioperative antibiotic administration and assess the potential impact of a clinical decision support tool on guideline adherence. ⋯ Nonadherence to antibiotic guidelines in the perioperative setting often results from a lack of structured workflow. The interviews provide a foundation for developing a clinical decision support tool tailored to provider needs, aiming to improve user satisfaction and promote better adherence to perioperative antibiotic guidelines.
