Contact usOn Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 11 a.m., join Choosing Wisely Canada’s one-hour webinar for an expert discussion on:
- Why low-value urine testing persists
- The impact on antibiotic use
- System-wide strategies to improve practice
Urine dipsticks and urinalysis are often used to diagnose suspected urinary tract infections in primary care, long-term care, and emergency departments.
But they are often inaccurate in older adults, and the results can lead to a cascade of unnecessary testing and antibiotic use.
Dr. Janet Reynolds, Medical Director for Calgary Foothills PCN, will be among the expert speakers who will share strategies to improve.
