What's New in NaSH Version 3.14
Note that
NaSH Version 3.13 has never been distributed to users:
Software releases move directly from v3.12 to v3.14.
HCWs
living outside the United States:
In pervious versions of the software, State and Zipcode collected
on the HCW Baseline form only allowed U.S. states and territories,
and U.S. formatted numeric zipcodes. Users may now enter states,
provinces, and territories for Canada and Mexico that border the
U.S. Zipcodes may now contain alphabetic characters and the edit
mask that placed the dash (-) in the sixth position has been removed
to accommodate postal codes other than U.S.P.S. format. Since this
information is for the users benefit and not shared with the CDC,
users may store whatever data is useful to them.
Entering
Sharps Brand Name:
Users may enter a list of brand names for sharps that they define.
The list established is available during data entry on the Exposures
to Blood/Body Fluid and Bloodborne Pathogen event form. When the
software is first installed, the list has been “seeded” with an
abridged list of brands obtained from FDA. Users are free to delete
those that are unwanted and add brands that are specific to their
own institution. Many helpful tools to identify brand names of
FDA approved devices are available on the World Wide Web at FDA
Device Listing.
Value
changes for variables:
The following table shows a listing of variables and changes
to existing variables. Changes
were made to improve sorting of output during analysis. Data that
was previously collected will be updated during the installation
process to be consistent with the new values. Users will need to
enter the new codes during data entry for new records (e.g. Entering
01 instead of just 1 as done previously). Values not listed below
will remain unchanged.
