CMS Reporting Rule to NHSN System is Released

CMS Reporting Rule to NHSN System is Released

The new CMS requirement for facility reporting on COVID-19  is available here.   This article from LeadingAge National provides a summary and more information about implications for members.

The reporting requirements will be effective immediately upon publishing in the Federal Register, scheduled for May 8. LeadingAge has asked CMS for a grace period while providers work to complete enrollment and familiarize themselves with the new module. NHSN will be hosting 2 additional training sessions. These training sessions will be a repeat of the recorded training that took place this week. Trainings will eventually be posted to the NHSN website, though this could take a number of weeks, so it’s best to get on one of these training sessions. Dates/times are below. Access the training here:

Monday, May 4, 2:00pm EST – Enrollment Process

Tuesday, May 5, 3:00pm EST – Reporting Module
