HL7 CDA® R2 Implementation Guide: National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) Reports for Long Term Care Facilities (HAI-LTCF-CDA), Release 1, STU 2 - US Realm
DESCRIPTION
This implementation guide (IG) specifies standards for electronic submission of Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) reports to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for Long Term Care Facilities (LTCFs). When healthcare enterprises choose to participate in NHSN, they must report to CDC reportable events such as identified MDRO (multidrug-resistant organism) or CDI (C. difficile infection). This standard opens the channel for data submission by all applications compliant with the data coding requirements defined in this guide.

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
LTCF HAI reporting standards were first released in 2012, with data submitted by paper form and manual web entry. The CDA and FHIR standards for electronic HAI reporting from LTCFs were balloted for the first time in 2019. This CDA IG, and its parallel FHIR IG, permit LTCFs to submit standardized surveillance data for public reporting of HAI and other reportable events to NHSN directly from electronic health record (EHR) sysems. This method of data collection and submission to NHSN can greatly reduce reporter burden and improve work efficiency. It is also expected that data errors may decrease, thereby improving data quality for national benchmarks, monitoring trends, and measuring progress towards infection prevention goals. Going forward, as this IG will likely be updated and expanded every year, it will continue to go through the HL7 ballot comment and reconciliation process each time.
