Recorded On: 05/23/2013
Many facilities are reporting hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). The NHSN criteria provide a standard language for infection surveillance, which allows benchmarking of data. This presentation will explain the criteria used for reporting, their purpose, and how to use the information to improve the care and outcomes of the infusion-therapy patient.
At the conclusion of the presentation, the participant will be able to:
1. Discuss the reporting criteria.
2. Relate how information can improve patient outcomes.
