Enhancing Communication and Practices in CDI Prevention: Collaborative Workshop Outcomes

Join us for a collaborative workshop focused on improving communication of current precautions in the context of CDI prevention. Led by Susanne Salem-Schatz, Sc.D., this event brings together interdisciplinary team members from hospitals and long-term care facilities, including infection preventionists, nurses, physicians, and pharmacists. Over ten months, we have tracked our progress in antibiotic stewardship and signage improvements. This workshop will highlight the accomplishments, discuss effective strategies, and outline next steps as we continue to enhance care and prevent healthcare-associated CDI.
