Abstract
Use of an automated reminder for an order to continue or to discontinue a urinary catheter resulted in a significant increase in the percentage of urinary catheters justified by an order and the percentage of urinary catheter discontinuation orders increased. This is an essential first step toward reducing inappropriate urinary catheter use.
