Safety and Nosocomial Clostridioides difficile Infections.

The rate of nosocomial C. difficile in the state of Rhode Island is among the highest in the country. Multiple factors impact the occurrence of nosocomial C. difficile. Improvement in a single factor may not lead to a decrease in the rate. We report the results of a multidisciplinary team that implemented multiple interventions, which led to a 42% reduction of nosocomial C. difficile at The Miriam Hospital.
