Join us for an informational session about the new Nursing Home C. difficile Initiative. Organizations that participate in the initiative will receive free technical assistance and support on tracking and preventing C. difficile infections. Through surveillance and data submission, these facilities will be part of establishing the national baseline for C. difficile in nursing homes and be better positioned for future health care associated infection reporting and quality requirements.

Audience

Nursing Home administrators, directors of nursing, infection preventionists, and quality improvement staff.

Objectives­

• Hear from hospitals and nursing homes about the importance of C. difficile surveillance and data reporting.
