Webcast & Slides:
Healthcare Personnel Safety Component: Setting Up a Facility
Summary
The objectives for this training session include: reviewing how locations are used in NHSN, illustrating how to add users, locations, devices, occupations, departments, and supervisors, and discussing how a facility can import healthcare worker demographic data.
Audience: This training is designed not only for those who will collect and analyze Healthcare Personnel Safety Component (or HPS) data, but also for those who will enroll a healthcare facility into NHSN. This includes NHSN facility administrators, the Healthcare Personnel Safety Primary contact, occupational health professionals, infection preventionists (IPs), epidemiologists, and data entry staff. The primary HPS contact is the person in your facility who has primary contact with CDC, especially regarding data entry questions. This is likely to be someone with occupational health responsibilities in your facility.
