After this session, attendees should be able to:

  1. Describe opportunities for antimicrobial stewardship in urinary tract infections through accurate diagnosis and treatment selection.
  2. Identify collateral damage from overuse of antibiotics.
  3. Discuss preventative strategies.
  4. Describe how to construct an appropriate treatment plan, provided clinical situations.

Program Abstract:
Urinary Tract Infections are one of the most common indications for both inpatient and outpatient antibiotic prescriptions. Given high rates of inappropriate antibiotic prescribing, it is imperative that accurate diagnostic evaluation and infection management be provided to minimize patient risk and optimize outcomes. During this presentation, audience members will review innovative strategies to improve diagnosis, prevention, and antibiotic management.
