Announcements
Timestamps in NHSN
Since February 2024, timestamps in the NHSN application (such as “date created” and “date last modified” fields) have displayed Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is the international time standard.
- To convert UTC to Eastern Time: Input the UTC calendar date and time into an online UTC time converter.
The new UTC timestamp will have no impact on data submission deadlines. Local time remains in place for data submission deadlines.
No action is needed by NHSN users.
For more information on UTC, please see the following document: UTC Guidance Document_508 (cdc.gov) [PDF – 269 KB]
