[GOAL] Produce a final recommendation for a 60-day remediation plan to reduce hospital-onset C. difficile infections across a 4-hospital system, balancing infection-control effectiveness, EVS operational feasibility, and supply/contract constraints (including whether to switch to sporicidal disinfectants and how to sequence training, monitoring, and procurement).

[R0.1] Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director (speak, public): Good morning, everyone. To address our current CDI rate of 9.8 per 10,000 patient-days, which is above our goal of 6.0, I'd like to discuss a 60-day remediation plan. Let's start by assessing our current cleaning effectiveness and the feasibility of implementing sporicidal disinfectants across our 4-hospital system.
[R0.2] Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager (speak, public): To assess our current cleaning effectiveness, we've been monitoring key metrics: our median terminal clean cycle time is 62 minutes per discharge, slightly above our target of 55 minutes. Disinfectant dwell-time adherence is at 54%, based on 80 timed audits, with a required contact time of 10 minutes. Additionally, our ATP surface testing for high-touch areas shows a 76% pass rate from 320 swabs, against a threshold of 250 RLU. We've also made progress on training EVS staff on the updated enteric protocol, with 78% completion among 92 staff members as of today.
[R0.3] Supply Chain Contracting Director (speak, public): To better understand the feasibility of switching to sporicidal disinfectants, can you share your perspective on the operational readiness for this change, particularly in terms of staff training and potential impact on EVS workflow? Additionally, what's the expected demand stability for these disinfectants across our 4-hospital system?

[R1.1] Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director (speak, public): Thank you for the update on cleaning effectiveness and operational readiness. To further assess the feasibility of implementing sporicidal disinfectants, can you share more about the potential impact on EVS workflow and any constraints we might face in terms of supply chain and contracting?
[R1.2] Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager (speak, public): To better understand the feasibility of switching to sporicidal disinfectants, I'd like to know more about the infection-control outcomes we're targeting and how our cleaning effectiveness will be measured. Additionally, could you provide insights into the budget impact and supply reliability of such a switch? We're also concerned about where the risk is concentrated and whether there are any contractual constraints that could affect procurement.
[R1.3] Supply Chain Contracting Director (speak, public): To address the budget impact and supply reliability concerns, I can share that our current annual spend on QuatClean Plus is $312,000 across the 4 hospitals. Switching to sporicidal wipes is estimated to add $28,000 per month at our current usage rates. The supplier has a capacity of 3,500 canisters per week with a lead time of 14 days. I'd like to understand more about the expected demand stability and whether there are any specific concerns regarding the implementation timeline that could affect our procurement and contracting process.

[R2.1] Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director (speak, public): To better understand the operational readiness and potential impact on EVS workflow, I'd like to share that our current hand hygiene compliance is at 83%, and we're seeing a high Fluoroquinolone DOT of 52 per 1,000 patient-days. We need to ensure that any changes to our cleaning protocols are effectively communicated and implemented across all departments. Can you provide more insights on the EVS staffing levels and any potential strain on their resources with the introduction of sporicidal disinfectants?
[R2.2] Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager (speak, public): To better understand the operational feasibility of implementing sporicidal disinfectants, I need to clarify the infection-control outcomes we're targeting and how our cleaning effectiveness will be measured. Additionally, I'd like to know more about the budget impact and supply reliability of such a switch. We're also concerned about where the risk is concentrated and whether there are any contractual constraints that could affect procurement.
[R2.3] Supply Chain Contracting Director (speak, public): To address the concerns about budget impact and supply reliability, I'd like to reiterate that switching to sporicidal wipes will add $28,000 per month at our current usage rates, and the supplier has a capacity of 3,500 canisters per week with a lead time of 14 days. To further assess the feasibility of this change, can you clarify the expected timeline for implementing sporicidal disinfectants and any specific milestones we need to meet within the 60-day remediation plan?

[R3.1] Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director (speak, public): To address the concerns about the 60-day remediation plan, let's summarize the key points discussed so far. We've identified that our current CDI rate is 9.8 per 10,000 patient-days, and our cleaning effectiveness audit shows a UV marker removal rate of 71% across 18 units. The EVS Operations Manager has provided insights into the current cleaning effectiveness and operational readiness. The Supply Chain Contracting Director has shared information on the budget impact and supply reliability of switching to sporicidal disinfectants. To finalize the plan, I propose that we sequence the training, monitoring, and procurement over the next 60 days, ensuring that we effectively communicate and implement the changes across all departments. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this proposal and any specific milestones we need to meet within the 60-day timeline.
[R3.2] Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager (speak, public): To finalize the 60-day remediation plan, I agree that sequencing the training, monitoring, and procurement is crucial. Based on our current metrics and the insights shared, I propose that we prioritize completing the EVS staff training on sporicidal disinfectants within the first 30 days, followed by a phased rollout of the new disinfectants across the 4 hospitals. We should also establish a monitoring plan to assess the effectiveness of the new disinfectants and identify any areas for improvement. I'd like to confirm that the Supply Chain Contracting Director is comfortable with the procurement timeline and that we have a plan in place to mitigate any potential supply chain constraints.
[R3.3] Supply Chain Contracting Director (speak, public): To confirm the procurement timeline, I can manage the transition within the proposed 60-day remediation plan, but I'd like to highlight that switching to sporicidal wipes will require careful planning to mitigate potential supply chain constraints. Given the supplier's capacity of 3,500 canisters per week and a lead time of 14 days, we should be able to meet the demand if we sequence the rollout effectively. I'd like to propose that we finalize the procurement plan by the end of this week, allowing us to place orders in a timely manner and ensure a smooth transition.

[R4.1] Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Director (speak, public): To finalize the 60-day remediation plan, let's consolidate the key decisions and milestones.

The Supply Chain Contracting Director will finalize the procurement plan by the end of this week. We will also establish a monitoring plan to assess the effectiveness of the new disinfectants. I propose that we schedule a follow-up meeting in 30 days to review the progress and make any necessary adjustments. Let's ensure that we effectively communicate these changes across all departments and maintain a focus on our infection-control outcomes.
[R4.2] Environmental Services (EVS) Operations Manager (speak, public): I agree with the proposed plan and milestones.
