Data-Driven Interventions for Reducing C. Difficile Incidence
Using AI model predictions to identify patients most at risk for C. Diff infection (CDI), the team used a pre-post study design to assess the effect of a bundle intervention (two BPAs) in reducing CDI incidence at Michigan Medicine.
The team conducted a Quality Improvement Study in collaboration with the Pharmacy team at Michigan Medicine and with ten MM hospital units with high rates of CDI. The primary outcome in this project was CDI incidence rate. The secondary outcomes were antimicrobial use and qualitative assessments of the bundle intervention.
