The New NHSN Tool: Reporting POC Testing for COVID-19 Webinar

Last updated on

The National Healthcare Safety Network team is providing this training option for CMS-certified nursing facilities. All CMS-certified nursing facilities use the NHSN Point of Care Test Reporting Tool to report results for all POC testing for COVID-19 performed in their facility. NHSN, then reports the nursing home POC laboratory test data electronically to the public health agency, state or local, that has jurisdictional authority and responsibility to receive and use the nursing facility’s data.

Texas nursing facilities are still required to report testing result information to the Department of State Health Services and local health departments, per Governor Abbott’s Executive Order GA-10 (PDF).
