Attention any Nursing Home or Assisted Living Facility with a CLIA Waiver (to perform limited laboratory testing):
The National Health and Safety Network (NHSN) has released a new NHSN option that will enable nursing homes to enter point of care (POC) SARS-CoV-2 laboratory test data into the NHSN application. NHSN, in turn, will report the nursing home POC laboratory test data electronically to the public health agencies, state or local that has jurisdictional authority and responsibility to receive and use the nursing home’s data. Deidentified nursing home POC laboratory also will be reported via existing public health reporting mechanisms to the US Department of Health and Human Services in accordance with the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act requirements.
The NHSN team is providing training for a new NHSN Long Term Care Facility COVID-19 Pathway laboratory data reporting option. The October 22nd training will be live and allow for submission of audience questions. The October 23rd training will be a rebroadcast of the recorded training followed by a live Q & A session. A recording of the original webinar will be posted for on-line viewing.
- Please note that both webinars are identical in content, so you may only need to attend once.
- Register in advance for the meeting
