Clostridioides difficile (C. diff)
https://www.cdc.gov/cdiff/index.htmlhttps://www.cdc.gov/cdiff/pdf/Cdiff-Factsheet-508.pdf
▪ People on antibiotics are times more likely to get C. diff while on the drugs or during the month after
▪ Within a month of diagnosis, 1 in 11 people died of a healthcare-associated C. diff infection
▪ More than of C. diff deaths occur in people 65 and older
▪ It’s estimated to cause almost illnesses in the United States each year
▪ About 1 in 5 patients who get C. diff will get it
16
Prevention Strategies: C. diff
▪ Improve prescribing - Antibiotics
▪ Use standard precautions during all resident cares
▪ Report any s/s of C. diff immediately
▪ Rapidly identify and isolate
– Wear PPE – gloves and gown
– Use C. diff spore killing cleansers
– Wash hands with soap and water
– Designate equipment to only be used on the infected patient/ resident Clinical Practice Guidelines for C-diff infection - IDSA and SHEA
https://www.idsociety.org/practice-guideline/clostridium-difficile/
17
Antibiotic Resistance
▪ Each year in the US at least people get an antibiotic resistant infection
▪ At least 23,000 people every year as result
▪ Up to 70% of NH residents receive courses of systemic antibiotics in a year
▪ of antibiotics prescribed in NHs may be unnecessary or inappropriate
CDC Antibiotic/Antimicrobial Threat Report https://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/biggest_threats.html
18
Prevention Strategies: Antibiotic Stewardship
▪ Every resident/patient gets optimal antibiotic treatment
▪ Communication - transfer forms
▪ Preventing infections - vaccinations
▪ Antibiotics given only when they are needed
- Right antibiotic - Right dose - Right duration
▪ Commit now to ensure antibiotic stewardship polices and practices are in place to protect residents/patients and improve clinical care

Next Steps Moving Forward
▪ Continue to meet as a team – study data reports surrounding sepsis,
infection prevention practices, and readmission occurrences
▪ Create a PIP team – Use QAPI fundamentals to guide process
improvements centered around your sepsis prevention program
▪ Review the tools and resources – use the slides in the three parts
of the sepsis series to identify tools and resources you can implement for training, auditing, monitoring and tracking
▪ Commitment to sustain your efforts - ensure safe care for each
resident/patient remains to improve their quality of life
▪ Share your sepsis prevention improvement work – display for
everyone to see how their efforts are a part of this improvement process. Share with Telligen your improvement success!
