UTI Tool Kit

To support ongoing education of residents, nurses, physicians, and APPs, CASP developed a compendium of resources to bolster knowledge on diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Suspected UTIs are a common reason people seek medical attention. In some cases, urine may be cultured without a full consideration of the clinical picture, setting off a chain of tests and eventual treatment that may be unnecessary, resulting in misdiagnosis and misuse of antibiotics, which speed the development of resistance. For these reasons, keeping informed is the best medicine for healthcare providers as well as patients. It is hoped the tool kit resources below will provide useful reference information.
