Previously published guidelines provided comprehensive recommendations for detecting and preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

This document updates the Strategies to Prevent Clostridium difficile Infections in Acute Care Hospitals published in 2014. This expert guidance document is sponsored by the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) and is the product of a collaborative effort led by SHEA, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), the American Hospital Association (AHA), and The Joint Commission.
