[Audio Blog] NHSN and Infection Prevention in Nursing Homes: A Closer Look

Infection prevention in nursing homes is a critical element of resident care, as these facilities serve some of the most vulnerable individuals in healthcare. Nursing home staff face unique challenges in preventing and managing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), as residents often live in close quarters and may have underlying health conditions. The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), a program by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), plays a central role in helping nursing homes track and reduce HAIs. With NHSN, long-term care facilities can monitor infection data, implement evidence-based prevention practices, and ultimately improve resident outcomes.
