SystemsPerspective
An individual perspective may be narrow, underestimate the scope of the problem, may not be sufficient to recognize root causes and may make implementation of infection prevention for CDI challenging
A systems perspective takes the whole picture into consideration from all relevant perspectives and stakeholders
Breaks the problem down into its component parts

Key interventions for CDI prevention- aCDIbundle
1) rapid, appropriate diagnostic testing for C. difficile
2) empiric isolation for patients with diarrhea and suspected CDI
3) contact isolation for patients with confirmed CDI
4) environmental decontamination of CDI patient rooms
5) full compliance with hand hygiene by all entering and leaving CDI patient rooms.
