Facility-Onset Infections(s) Device-Or Care-Related: Clostridioides Difficile

The document summarizes the results of an infection prevention and control risk assessment conducted at Southeastern Regional Medical Center in 2011-2012. It identifies various infection events and practices and rates their probability of occurrence, level of harm, impact on care, and the facility's readiness to prevent each issue. Events related to facility-onset infections, outbreaks, and failures in IPC practices are evaluated. The assessment aims to prioritize highest risk issues for improvement efforts.
