Implementing clinical guidelines can help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in long-term care facilities. UTIs are a major cause of infections and hospitalizations for elderly patients and are costly to treat. Guidelines developed based on evidence-based research aim to decrease UTIs by 50% through improved incontinence management, judicious antibiotic use, and other preventive measures. Measuring UTI rates before and after implementing the guidelines can help determine their effectiveness in improving patient outcomes and safety.
