Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) Specific Training for Long Term Care Facilities
The Maine CDC has two goals for this training:
Provide education on reducing UTIs in long term care facilities;
Understand how over-prescribing antibiotics, which commonly occurs in extended-term facilities, can lead to antibiotic resistance of some bacteria, which increases the potential lethality of bacterial infections.
Target audience: Floor nurses and nurse leaders who work in long-term care.
