Nursing homes are required to report healthcare personnel flu vaccination data annually through the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) system. This reporting satisfies requirements for the SNF Quality Reporting Program (QRP) and requires at least one report by May 15 each year covering all healthcare personnel who worked at least one day in the nursing home during the respiratory virus season that runs from October 1-March 31.
NHSN will hold Office Hours on Thursday, April 25 to review how facilities can report this data and answer any questions. This is the third and final replay of Office Hours sessions held in February and March 2024. A recording of this webinar is available here. The slide deck for this webinar is available here. Register for the April 25 webinar here.
If you have any questions, please use NHSN-ServiceNow to submit questions to the NHSN Help Desk. The new portal can be accessed here and should be used in place of nhsn@cdc.gov. If you do not have a SAMS login, or are unable to access ServiceNow, you can still e-mail the NHSN Help Desk at: nhsn@cdc.gov, with “HPS Flu Summary” in the e-mail subject line, along with your facility type.
