NEW! Shop Talk Shorts – Only have a few minutes? We’ve created 2-3 minute videos with answers to FAQs about getting access to NHSN. Please take a few minutes to watch the videos before the next Shop Talk so we can dive into NHSN and data quality topics on our calls together! New videos will be added periodically — topics include:

• How to change your email address in NHSN
• How to upgrade to level-3 access in NHSN
• I am new and no one at my facility has access to NHSN. How do I get access?
• How do I add users and rights to our NHSN account?
• I am leaving the facility. How do I reassign the facility administrator?
• How do I put staff data in the new POCT module?
• How do I find my facility NHSN data on the CMS website and check to see if it passed quality assurance?
