Should I Follow Up with Interviewer if I Haven't Heard Back in a Week?

Had an R1 for a full-time position last week, but I haven't heard anything. I'm positive it went well, but I'm getting paranoid now.

Would it be a good/bad idea to send a follow up email to see where I stand or to ask about next steps? If so, how should I go about wording it?

From my experience if you don’t hear in a week it’s usually not a good sign - could be wrong though
