Outcomes of Urinary Tract Infection Management by Pharmacists

The pharmacist will assess for symptoms of urinary tract infection and, for patients in Arm 1, prescribe antibacterials when appropriate. For patients in Arm 2, pharmacists will ensure optimal therapy and adapt or perform therapeutic substitution when appropriate (or work with the patient to discontinue therapy or just put the prescription on file in instances where the patient is assessed to have asymptomatic bacteriuria for which treatment is inappropriate).
