Oak Hill Hospital in West Florida has implemented a C-Diff Algorithm to reduce the incidences of C-Diff. The algorithm will assist in timely and appropriate collection and should be sent to lab with all specimens. Please note, specimens should look like Type 7 on the Bristol Stool Chart and collected no later than Day 3, Day 1 being day of admission. C-Diff is considered hospital onset if specimen is collected on or after Day 4 of hospitalization. Please review provided education handouts and comment with questions.
