Activity descriptionThis on-demand webcast will explore the scope and impact of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in long-term care (LTC) settings, including prevalence, costs and clinical challenges. Participants will learn to differentiate UTIs from asymptomatic bacteriuria, apply evidence-based diagnostic criteria and implement strategies for prevention and treatment. Hydration practices, catheter maintenance and risk reduction to improve resident outcomes and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use will also be discussed.
