Lessons Learned from Implementing<i>Clostridium difficile</i>–Focused Antibiotic Stewardship Interventions

Abstract

Although decreases in target antibiotic consumption did not translate into reductions of hospital-onset CDI in this study, many valuable lessons (including implementation strategies and antibiotic consumption measures) were learned. The findings can inform potential policy decisions regarding incorporating control of CDI and ASP as healthcare quality measures.
