New NHSN LTCF Respiratory Pathogens and Vaccination Module

The National Healthcare Safety Network’s (NHSN’s) new module is a simplified version that has reduced six forms down to two forms. With the new, up-to-date definition changes, which began September 30, 2024, individuals are now considered up to date if they have received a dose of the 2024-2025 updated COVID-19 vaccine. You can find up-to-date definitions and Q4 reporting examples here.

Webinar: NHSN is hosting a “Person-Level Vaccination Forms: Quarter 4 2024 Updates for Long Term Care Facility” webinar October 16, 2024, at 1 p.m. ET. The webinar is free, but you must register in advance.
