In this episode of Clinical Lab Chat, CLP Director of Business Intelligence Chris Wolski engages in a wide-ranging discussion with Peggy Lillis Foundation CEO and founder Christian Lillis about the organization’s efforts to raise awareness of C diff. Among the topics they discuss:

 

  • Why C diff is difficult to diagnose
  • How Peggy Lillis is engaging with the public, scientific community, and legislators to improve understanding, diagnostics, and treatment of this increasingly common disease
  • The parallels of these awareness efforts with other public health education efforts
  • How laboratorians can help their organizations develop workflows to avoid under- and over-testing for C diff.
