For nursing home professionals, infection prevention and patient safety are top priorities. The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), a program under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), plays a critical role in safeguarding healthcare environments, including long-term care facilities, against healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and other safety threats. By using NHSN, nursing homes can better track, analyze, and reduce infections among residents while protecting healthcare staff. In collaboration with organizations like Qsource, a nonprofit quality improvement organization, NHSN offers nursing home professionals the tools and insights needed to elevate their infection prevention and control practices.
