An English version of the UTI Kiosk module was validated at UCSF urgent care clinic in 2005, and has been successfully integrated into the clinical work flow at this clinic for over 2 years. The computer-based module is housed in a freestanding kiosk with a touch-screen monitor and audio handset to allow patients with low literacy and minimum computer skills to complete the module. A printer in the kiosk provides a summary of the patient's responses to each question in the module, as well as a prescription for the clinic physician to sign and return to the patient.
It's important to emphasize that the computer only "fast-tracks" women who will be treated with antibiotics. All other women see the provider as usual. Also, all women who are eligible for computer treatment may opt to see a provider instead.
