Abstract In 2021, Maccabi Healthcare Services (MHS) introduced “UTI Smart-Set” (UTIS), an AI-driven decision support system (DSS) based on a machine-learning (ML) algorithm, to optimize antibiotic treatments for UTIs. UTIS reduced antibiotic mismatch–defined as pathogen resistance to prescribed empiric antibiotic based on culture—by ~ 30%, yet ~ 33% of physicians did not follow its recommendations. We aimed to characterize physicians according to UTIS implementation.

In my youth, Shavuot was the holiday when we spent the whole night between the various shuls in the Jerusalem neighborhood where my parents lived, looking for the most fascinating classes, joining a group that knew where the best conversations were, and the talks on the most interesting topics. Early in the morning, we returned home tired and full of adventures.
