We found clinically significant improvements in the rate of C. diff infection and PCR tests ordered as a result of implementing tailored interventions in a large medical intensive care unit. Other units should consider using robust quality improvement methods and tools to conduct similar initiatives to reduce patient harm and improve care and outcomes.
