At St. Vincent Healthcare, one of Montana's largest comprehensive hospitals, reducing the incidence of C. difficile infection is a top priority, according to an article on the Cision website.
In December, 2017, St. Vincent Healthcare's environmental services department introduced a standardized, bleach-based cleaning and disinfecting protocol to fight C. difficile, enhance infection prevention and promote patient safety facility-wide.
Implementation of bleach-based products throughout the facility was supported both by formal training on compliant product use and the introduction of standardized cleaning practices.
While St. Vincent Healthcare already outperforms the national average for preventing C. difficile infections, the new protocol goes even further to protect patients, staff and visitors, the article said.
