NHSN Makes Updates to Hospital Respiratory Data Reporting

What’s happening: The new Hospital Respiratory Data (HRD) module, including both the HRD Daily and HRD Weekly Reporting Pathways, is available in the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) application, effective since Oct. 9. 

What else to know: Facilities can voluntarily submit HRD prior to the Nov. 1 required reporting date. NHSN recommends that hospitals submit actual data (not “test” data) voluntarily to NHSN before Nov. 1 to ensure familiarity with the module and reporting processes.  

In addition, the NHSN application’s hospital COVID-19 module will no longer be available for data submission, as it was deactivated on Oct. 9. NHSN users can still access reports for hospital COVID-19 data that were previously submitted.  

The NHSN updated the Hospital Respiratory Data web page with a new data import section, new analytic resources and references guides, and other additional resources. 

NHSN will hold two webinars next week about the new Hospital Respiratory Data module:
