Assessing the impact of an electronic health record intervention on testing and treatment for asymptomatic bacteriuria in older adults
We developed an intervention to update the indications on a urinalysis and urine culture order set according to recent guidelines recommending against testing and treatment for bacteriuria in older adults with altered mental status or falls. The intervention had no impact on diagnostic or antibiotic stewardship.
