I have a few slides to present the NHSN Data validation but I would like to put them in order and have an outline too with speaker notes.
All the information is there. The NHSN validation is completed and I will share the attachment of the finding here .
Common discrepancies in NHSN (National Healthcare Safety Network) data validation include:
1. Data Entry Errors: Inaccurate or inconsistent data input, such as incorrect patient IDs or dates.
2. Inconsistent Definitions: Variability in understanding and applying NHSN definitions for infections, events, or metrics.
3. Missing Data: Incomplete records, such as missing lab results or failure to report all necessary events.
4. Incorrect Calculation: Errors in calculating rates or percentages, often due to misinterpretation of numerator and denominator.
5. Timeliness of Reporting: Delays in data submission can lead to discrepancies in reported infection rates.
6. Patient Location Issues: Misclassification of patient location (e.g., ICU vs. ward) affecting infection surveillance data.
7. Use of Outdated Protocols: Not adhering to the latest NHSN guidelines and protocols for reporting.
