Abstrakt:	The rapid expansion of telemedicine has highlighted challenges and opportunities to improve antibiotic use and effectively adapt antibiotic stewardship best practices to outpatient telemedicine settings. Antibiotic stewardship integration into telemedicine is essential to optimize antibiotic prescribing for patients and ensure health care quality. We performed a narrative review of published literature on antibiotic prescribing and stewardship in outpatient telemedicine to inform the adaptation of the Core Elements of Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship framework to outpatient telemedicine settings. Our narrative review suggests that in-person antibiotic stewardship interventions can be adapted to outpatient telemedicine settings. We present considerations for applying the Core Elements of Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship to outpatient telemedicine which builds upon growing evidence describing care delivery and quality improvement in this setting. Additional applied implementation research is necessary to inform the application of effective, sustainable, and equitable antibiotic stewardship interventions across the spectrum of outpatient telemedicine.
