SUMMARY:Clostridioides difficile: Hospital Best Practices Shared and Outcomes Achieved
DESCRIPTION:In the US an estimated 12\,800 people died from Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) in 2017\, and the CDC Threat Report lists the infection as an urgent health issue. Unfortunately\, C. difficile is more common and severe in older people. Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing puts patients at risk for C. diff infections. More than half of all hospitalized patients get antibiotics during their hospital stays\, yet studies show that 30-50% of antibiotics are prescribed incorrectly in hospitals. \nIn this program you’ll hear from two hospital programs that have improved their C difficile rates with multidisciplinary best practice team interventions to increase patient safety. \nWho Should Attend: Nurses\, Physicians\, Infection Preventionists\, Pharmacists\, Quality and Patient Safety Professionals\, Clinical and Hospital Leaders

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ghinwa Dumyati\, MD\, Director Communicable Diseases Surveillance and Prevention Program\, University of Rochester Medical Center. \nDr. Dumyati has expertise in the prevention of healthcare associated infections and antibiotic stewardship. She collaborates with the CDC Emerging Infection Program on identifying the burden and risk factors of infectious diseases of public health importance such as C. difficile and antibiotic resistant gram negative organisms. Dr. Dumyati led several collaborative quality improvement projects to reduce the burden of healthcare associated infections. Over the past several years she succeeded in reducing the incidence of C difficile infections in the local hospitals and nursing homes. Dr. Dumyati is a member of the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine (AMDA) and is the Chair of its Infection Advisory committee. She is also a Fellow of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America and is a member of the Quality Measures Task Force as well as member of its long term care interest group. \nAt the conclusion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n\nList the most recent treatment guidelines for C. difficile infection\nIdentify the role of diagnostic stewardship in optimizing C. difficile testing\nDescribe the importance of communication across care transitions in improving the management of patients with C. difficile infection
