Popis:	Introduction Burden of Clostridium difficile (C. diff) at FSLH • A study conducted by Lipp, Nero & Callahan (2012) of New York hospitals showed association of C. diff infections translated to: • 12 additional hospital days per episode • Average cost of $29,000 per episode • 2012 NYS Hospital-Aquired Infection (HAI) Report: FSLH had an unacceptably high rate of HO-C. diff • 2012 Rate – 19.09/10,000 patient days • C. diff rates steadily increased for 1.5 years • Interventions in place prior to June of 2013 were not sufficient to cause a significant or acceptable drop in HO-C. diff rates.
