Public Health Ontario (PHO) has developed the Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Program in response to concerns about the overuse of antibiotics for presumed UTI's in residents in long-term care homes (LTCHs) and the associated antibiotic-related harms. The Program contains a number of tools for assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of a program to reduce UTI’s in LTC homes.
