Under the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance, antimicrobial stewardship has become a key concern in healthcare quality and infection control. Recently, Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Administration launched an outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) incentive program to provide an alternative to inpatient care while reducing hospitalization requirements and enhancing healthcare accessibility. This article discusses the system design, clinical applications, and current challenges of OPAT from a primary care perspective. Primary care clinics may perform initial evaluations such as chest radiography, urine culture, and clinical assessments to enable patients with stable infections to receive community-based treatment. However, several practical challenges remain, including problems in treatment course design, limitations in antibiotic formulations, the need for specialist support, and difculties in infection control in outpatient settings. This study proposes several policy recommendations to address these challenges, including establishing demonstration clinics, strengthening the hierarchical referral system, and integrating home-based acute care into remote monitoring. OPAT should be positioned as an essential model for integrated community infection care to ensure both efective antimicrobial stewardship and patient safety.
