Description
Evaluate appropriateness of antibiotics with UTI in inpatient and ED.
Summary of ASB 201 as of 5/25:
- Collecting data has been beneficial, implementation and narrowing focus has been more difficult due to many responsibilities
- Trying to find less time consuming forms of implementation
- Would want to look at and address surgery-related antibiotics
- Sharing information via Powerpoints with providers has been going well
