Description

Problem Statement: First Floor GPU (General Practice Unit) at Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital experienced an increased number of hospital acquired Clostridioides difficile infections in Q1 and Q2 of 2023. Many of those cases occurred because there was a delay in testing due to length of time between stooling and testing within the first three days of hospital admission, which is the community onset window. Improvement Statement: Design new stool collection protocol to decrease missed opportunities to test for Clostridium difficile within community onset window.
