Correction: HAI Reportable Conditions Document Update

 

To: Facility administrators, infection preventionists, quality officers, medical and nursing officers, and person(s) responsible for reporting to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). From: The Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance (HAI/AR) Program of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Correction: please see the corrected due date. Colorado Statute requires licensed healthcare facilities to report healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) and to CDPHE for inclusion in the HAI Annual Report (C.R.S. 25-3-601-607). Please refer to the HAI reportable conditions document for details about what conditions to report. This document includes updated reporting deadlines for 2024. CDPHE will be enforcing NHSN reporting at the time of facility licensure and renewal. If you need assistance with NHSN or reporting to the CDPHE reporting group within NHSN, please reach out to the HAI/AR Program, cdphe_hai_ar@state.co.us. In addition, complete the appropriate survey of NHSN reporting practices below for each reporting facility by January15, 2025. CDPHE will request facilities complete this survey, or a similar survey, at the time of licensure or license renewal and at least once per year in order to understand what facilities should be reporting HAIs and to assist with reporting. Acute care hospitals Ambulatory surgery centers Critical access hospitals Inpatient rehabilitation facilities Long-term acute care hospitals Outpatient hemodialysis centers Pediatric hospitals For further information, please contact the HAI/AR Program, cdphe_hai_ar@state.co.us.
