Ann Arbor Guide to Triaging Adults With Suspected Urinary Tract Infection for In-Person and Telehealth Settings
The appropriateness of empiric antibiotics, urine testing, and different clinical evaluation options were defined for adults presenting with concerns for UTI in common ambulatory triage settings, including telehealth. These criteria for ambulatory triage of suspected UTI symptoms in adults are anticipated to help standardize and improve the appropriateness of empiric antibiotic prescribing, urine testing, and visit type triage.
