Curbing inappropriate C. difficile treatment in patients receiving concomitant laxatives.
In the setting of universal Clostridioides difficile screening, we implemented an alert that triggered when C. difficile treatment was ordered in patients who recently received laxatives. This resulted in C. difficile treatment avoidance in 37% of patients and was associated with drug cost savings of $143,905 over a 10-month period.
