          Abstract

          We performed an intervention evaluating the impact of an electronic hard-stop clinical decision support tool on repeat Clostridioides difficile (CD) toxin enzyme immunoassay (T-EIA) testing. The CD testing rate and number of admissions with repeat tests decreased significantly post-intervention (p<0.01 for both); the percentage of positive tests was unchanged (p=0.27).
