Beginning in 2024, reporting to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Antimicrobial Use and Resistance (AUR) Module is required under the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange objective of the CMS Promoting Interoperability Program.
Eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals are required to be in active engagement with CDC to report both AU and AR data. Facilities will receive a report from NHSN indicating their successful submission of AUR data for the EHR reporting period or claim an applicable exclusion.
To support NHSN facilities with this new requirement, the NHSN Team will be hosting Office Hours sessions. These sessions will start with a brief presentation and the remainder of the hour will be used for Q&A with attendees.
HCWs: Stay on alert for cases of #measles through the spring and summer travel seasons. Cases often originate from unvaccinated or undervaccinated U.S. residents who travel abroad.
