Re: SIG-2026-0103, "Delayed Antibiotic Prescription: Impact on Physician Prescribing Behavior Across Varying Financial Incentive Schemes"
SIG Day Decision: Reject
Dear Author (this is to ensure anonymity):
We received many excellent submissions for the Healthcare Operations Management SIG-Day Conference. Unfortunately, we were unable to accept all of them to be included in the program, and we are sorry to say that your paper was not accepted to the SIG-Day conference.
If you also submitted an extended abstract of your paper to the main MSOM Conference, a decision on that submission will come separately.
Sincerely,
Healthcare Operations;SIG Co-Chairs

Referee: 1
Please summarize the paper briefly. - Rev: The paper makes three main contributions. First, it develops an analytical model of antibiotic prescribing in which a physician chooses among no prescription, immediate prescription, and delayed antibiotic prescription under diagnostic uncertainty, imperfect patient adherence, and endogenous revisit congestion. Second, it brings financial incentives directly into that prescribing problem by comparing fee-for-service versus bundled payment and prescribing-dispensing separation versus nonseparation, and shows how these institutional features affect whether delayed prescribing is adopted. Third, it shows that when delayed prescribing is used, the optimal policy has a three-tier structure, and that its value depends heavily on patient adherence: with high adherence it can reduce antibiotic use and improve welfare, but with low adherence it can backfire and increase antibiotic use.
