Conclusions
®, HA-CDI
Focus groups conducted throughout the Prevent CDI-55 + study helped identify ongoing barriers to implementation of probiotics targeted at reducing HA-CDI. These real-time data permitted the implementation interventions to be adapted to address these barriers. The result was higher adherence to probiotic prescribing, which has been a limitation to previous studies, allowing for less uncertainty in when assessing whether Bio-K + ® reduced rates of HA-CDI in the Prevent CDI-55 + study. Use of a 1-click order entry in SCM was considered a key component of the success of the implementation and should be considered for any implementation strategy for stewardship initiatives.
