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.
