Nursing Home Patient Safety Series: Comprehensive Approaches to Preventing and Managing Urinary Tract Infections in Nursing Facilities – Antimicrobial Stewardship

This healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention webinar will discuss clinical and pharmacological interventions to reduce urinary tract infections and inappropriate antibiotic use in nursing facilities.

In This Event, We Will:

• Learn about the burden of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and urosepsis in the LTCF population.
• Discuss how clinicians can properly identify asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) and avoid inappropriate antibiotic use/prescribing for ASB.
• Review the appropriate antibiotic treatments/duration for a true UTI.
• Describe ways to implement antimicrobial stewardship in your facility.
