This four-page report reviews the facility’s COVID-19 data as a way to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the weekly NHSN submissions – highlighting areas that may need attention and providing guidance on resolving those issues (pages 1 and 2). It summarizes the patient and staff vaccination rates to drive improvement toward the CMS goal (page 3); and it provides links and information related to NHSN training and supporting documentation, a patient/staff poster developed by ASN, and contact information for the Network office (page 4).
The report is customizable with a comment area to alert units of issues – such as specific data elements missing from this week’s run. It gives praise to units that achieve the patient vaccination goal with a special “Good Job” message, and for units not achieving goal it suggests reaching out to the Network for additional tools or ideas for staff and patient engagement.
