Abstract
When Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) rates increased in 2007, a vigorous campaign was launched at our large tertiary care teaching hospital to stop transmission of these infections. Initiatives included: 1) improving prompt communication of positive laboratory results to the nursing units and the environmental services staff (EVS), 2) modifying room cleaning protocols by instituting bleach-cleaning, 3) working with bed control to reduce unnecessary room transfers, 4) providing education on CDI to staff via videos, in-services, focused stand-up meetings, posters, and screen saver messages, and 5) Contact Precautions at symptom onset with strict soap and water handwashing.
