Measure
Electronic Health Record (EHR)-Integrated Texting Platform
Patients will be enrolled into a texting platform for the management of recurrent UTI. EHR-integrated texting platform (Urotrust): • An evidence-based algorithm that provides symptom triage and clinical guidance during an episode of acute UTI * Evidence-based prevention education material on recurrent UTIs * 5 standing orders for urinalysis and urine culture in the EHR upon enrollment * Standard-of-care management for recurrent UTI
Usual Care
Patients will receive usual care through their providers. Usual care: • Standard-of-care management of recurrent UTI (phone calls and/or secure EHR messages for acute symptoms) and follow up visits as determined by patients and their providers.
