Activity Created: 3/2021
Credits Available Until 3/2024
Description:
Attendees will receive updates on management and prevention strategies for urinary tract infections (UTI) in post-acute and long-term care (PALTC) settings. Take-home points of the recently developed AMDA consensus statement on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of UTI in PALTC settings also will be discussed. The guidance provided in the consensus statement will be compared with other national guidelines on UTIs. Two 30-minute presentations, Diagnosis and Treatment of UTI and Prevention of UTI, will be followed by a 30-minute interactive case-based discussion. During the latter discussion, there will be an opportunity to interact with the speakers and seek advice on challenging scenarios being encountered in daily practice.
Learning Objectives:

• Review treatment updates for UTIs in residents of PALTC facilities.
• Demonstrate practical steps that can be taken for prevention and early recognition of UTIs in PALTC settings.
Compare UTI management recommendations from various guidelines with the AMDA consensus statement on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of UTI.
