Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To lower rates of C. difficile transmission through improved adherence to recommended isolation protocols.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Improve resident knowledge of infection control procedures and engagement in quality improvement initiatives.

OUTLINE:

Residents and nurses are given a short presentation on isolation protocols for diarrhea and enteric pathogens approved by Infection Control and covering their recommendations.

After completion of study, residents and nurses complete post-tests to determine the effectiveness of the training every 6 months.
