CMS, CDC officials clarify shiftingNHSN reporting requirements
Providers used a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Open Door Forum Thursday to question officials about new respiratory and flu reporting standards that go into effect in less than a month.
The new requirements, which roll out Jan. 1, instructs operators to report added information about influenza and respiratory syncytial virus, in addition to COVID-19 information they already submit through the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network.
