Description:The NHSN is a secure, web-based surveillance application that expands and integrates patient and healthcare personnel safety surveillance components. The application is managed and maintained by the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Facilities that participate in certain reporting programs implemented by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) can do so through use of NHSN. Likewise, some U.S. states use NHSN as a means for healthcare facilities to submit data on healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and other healthcare measures mandated through their specific state legislation.
NHSN enables healthcare facilities to collect and use healthcare surveillance data related to HAIs, adherence to clinical practices known to prevent HAIs, the incidence or prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms within their organizations, trends and coverage of healthcare personnel safety and vaccination, and adverse events related to the transfusion of blood and blood products.
Please Note: The NHSN Patient Safety Component Manual is updated annually based on subject matter expert review and user feedback. Over time, certain chapters have been retired or moved to other components. To avoid confusion, the chapters in the PSC manual do not shift to account for these changes; therefore, chapters 8 and 13 are not listed in the Table of Contents or included in this document.
