What kind of precautions do you have in place in your outpatient setting for c diff?

We had a patient in this new office where I'm at and I was running like a chicken getting things together.

Does anyone have a c diff precaution policy document they can share so its something I can share with mamanegement and a good starting place for me?

Like, someone with known c. diff or someone you think might have it?
 
known C Diff
Since its known, I'm assuming they are on antibiotics - wash your hands with soap and water, wipe down the exam table with Cavi-wipes (overkill, but better safe than sorry).

This all assume they don't poop in the room, then all bets are off.
