The CDC NHSN Dialysis COVID 19 Module provides healthcare facilities, with a customized system to track infections and prevention process measures in a systematic way. Tracking this information allows facilities to identify problems, improve care, and determine progress toward national healthcare-associated infection goals.
The NHSN Outpatient Dialysis Component is supporting the nation’s COVID-19 emergency response with a COVID-19 module designed to collect data pertaining to in-center dialysis, home dialysis, and peritoneal dialysis patients.
The Dialysis COVID-19 Module has a single data entry page with four sections:
- Patient Impact
- Staff and Personnel Impact
- Supply and Personal Protective Equipment
- Testing
