A multifaceted plan has helped the Stillwater (Oklahoma) Medical Center bring its C. diff rate to zero, according to an article on the Health Leaders Media website.
The 177-bed hospital has not seen a hospital-acquired case of C. diff since October 2017.
The three ways Stillwater reached its goal were:
• Education
• Hand hygiene and cleanliness
• Robots
While the first two parts of the plan worked to cut infection rates, it was the addition of pulsed xenon ultra-violet robots that drove C. diff rates down to zero, according to the hospital
