UTI Program (PHO) Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Program

Public Health Ontario (PHO) has developed the Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Program in response to concerns about the overuse of antibiotics for presumed UTI's in residents in long-term care homes (LTCHs) and the associated antibiotic-related harms. The Program contains a number of tools for assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of a program to reduce UTI’s in LTC homes.
