dc.description.abstractClostridioides difficile infection (CDI) contributes the global threats of drug resistant infections, healthcare acquired infections and antimicrobial resistance. Yet CDI knowledge among healthcare providers in low-resource settings is limited and CDI testing, treatment, and infection prevention measures are often delayed. To develop a CDI intervention informed by the local context within South African public district level hospitals, and analyze the CDI intervention and implementation process. A CDI checklist intervention was designed and implemented at three district level hospitals in the Western Cape, South Africa that volunteered to participate. Data collection included a retrospective medical records review of patients hospitalized with C. difficile test orders during the 90 days post-implementation. Patient outcomes and checklist components (e.g. antibiotics) were collected.en_US
