The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) is the nation’s most widely used healthcare-associated infection (HAI) tracking system. NHSN provides facilities, states, regions and the nation with data needed to identify problem areas, measure progress of prevention efforts and ultimately eliminate HAIs.

NHSN’s online quarterly newsletters hold a wealth of knowledge on a variety of detailed topics. This resource provides updates, reminders, announcements and details about upcoming events. There are frequently asked questions and answers that can be helpful to you and your healthcare providers as you navigate sweeping changes like ICD-10.

In each issue, multiple components are covered such as:

• Patient Safety
• Healthcare Personnel Safety
• Dialysis
• Biovigilance
• Long-Term Care Facilities
• General NHSN Information
