How Does NHSN Support Infection Prevention and Control?
NHSN supports infection prevention and control by providing actionable data that healthcare facilities can use to identify infection trends and implement evidence-based interventions. For example, facilities can use NHSN data to monitor the effectiveness of hand hygiene programs, antimicrobial stewardship efforts, and other infection control measures. Additionally, NHSN offers resources and educational materials to help facilities improve their infection prevention practices.
