Inappropriate testing led to false positives, inappropriate antibiotic use, and increased cost to the hospital.   C DIFF | Our Solutions By reviewing the current facilities policies and procedures, providing extensive training for physicians and nurses, implementing a laboratory monitoring system (specimens, if not collected correctly, are re-collected or canceled), and documenting symptoms present on admission, we were able to decrease C DIFF infection rates facility-wide.   Facility-wide C DIFF Decrease | Results Within one year, C DIFF infection rates were consistently down across all three facilities within the Florida Hospital System. This improvement resulted in significant cost savings for our Hospital Partner and a healthier patient population. ![3% (5)](https://blog.hnihealthcare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3%25%20(5).gif?width=399&name=3%25%20(5).gif) Connect with us.  We are experts in implementing value-based care strategies.
