CMSA National, via a grant from Ferring Pharmaceuticals, is offering a FREE webinar opportunity to CMSA Chapters.
"Clostridioides difficile: Reducing Mortality and Morbidity with Effective Care Coordination and Transitions"
The most common cause of diarrhea occurring in a healthcare setting is Clostridioides difficile (C. diff), and it is also the cause of antibiotic-associated colitis. An estimated 500,000 cases occur during hospitalization, costing $6.3 million. Thirty percent of those with an initial infection will have a recurrence, and 40% will have a third recurrence.
Case managers are the professionals prepared to address prevention, transitions, care coordination, social determinants and inequities. When equipped with the latest evidence and best practices, case managers can assimilate knowledge and skills to the patient, support system and care delivery system resulting in improved health outcomes and quality of life.
