About the Event

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) will hold 2022 Virtual NHSN Training: Patient Safety, Outpatient Procedure, and Neonatal Component Surveillance and Analytics on March 22 – 24, 2022.

This course is intended for users of the Patient Safety Component, Outpatient Procedure Component, and Neonatal Component in NHSN. The virtual training event will feature live presentations, pre-recorded training videos for self-paced viewing, and opportunities for Q&A. Training topics include how to identify, report, and analyze Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI), Central Line-associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI), Secondary Bloodstream Infection (BSI) and Site-Specific Infections, Surgical Site Infections (SSI), MRSA Bacteremia and C. difficile LabID events, Pneumonia Events, Ventilator-associated Events (VAE), and Pediatric Ventilator-associated Events (PedVAE), and the Antimicrobial Use and Resistance module. Additional topics include surveillance and analysis for the Outpatient Procedure Component, the Late-Onset Sepsis and Meningitis module of the new Neonatal Component, and the NHSN Annual Survey.

The virtual course provides participants with the opportunity to gain a better understanding of their NHSN surveillance data and how these data can be used for prevention.
