RESUMO
An increase in hospital-onset Clostridioides difficile prompted an interprofessional team to implement enhanced environmental service cleaning practices and adopt a routine cleaning program undertaken by clinical staff. These interventions resulted in a reduction of hospital-onset Clostridioides difficile from 7.27 cases per 10,000 patient days to 1.54 cases per 10,000 patient days.

Appropriateness of transmission-based precautions after positive result for a non-SARS-CoV-2 virus was evaluated. Most patients (77.2%) lacked appropriate precautions within 3 hours of virus detection; 36.9% remained without appropriate precautions during their stay. With recent cessation of universal masking, adherence to infection control best practices is needed to optimize safety.
