UTI Program (PHO) - Assessment Algorithm for UTIs in Medically Stable Non-catheterized Residents

This is a one-page algorithm that is part of Public Health Ontario’s Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Program. It clearly describes signs and symptoms of UTI’s and promotes ‘watchful waiting’ as an acceptable alternative before treating probable UTI’s. Is suitable for posting on a bulletin board.
