759. Impact of Clostridium difficile (CD) Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) Approval on Hospital-Onset C. difficile Infection (HO-CDI): A Diagnostic Stewardship Intervention
BACKGROUND: NAAT is highly sensitive in detecting toxigenic CD but if used inappropriately can lead to overdiagnosis and financial penalties. Despite diligent infection control (IC) measures, HO-CDI rates at our hospital remained above target benchmarks. We implemented mandatory CD testing approval...
