The National Healthcare Safety Network Long-term Care Facility Component early reporting experience: January 2013-December 2015

ConclusionsThese initial data demonstrate the capability of the NHSN LTCF Component as a national surveillance system for monitoring infections in LTCFs. Further investigation is needed to understand factors associated with successful enrollment and reporting. As participation increases, data from a larger group of LTCFs will be used to establish national baselines and track prevention goals.
