Urinary tract infections in long-term care : Improving outcomes through evidence-based practice / Brenda Wimmer - Hagerstown, MD ; Wolters Kluwer Health , 2023 - vol.53(10) : pages 30-35
Abstract:
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common infections in long-term care (LTC) facilities, yet clinical judgment rather than evidence is most often used in evaluation and treatment. This article recounts the implementation of an evidence-based practice evaluation and treatment protocol at an LTC facility to reduce the number of residents with a UTI.
