| This standard aims to modernize public health reporting in the United States by streamlining the submission of surveillance data to the CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). It focuses on making reporting faster, more accurate, and less burdensome for healthcare facilities. | |||
| # General | |||
| The HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide (IG) for NHSN Digital Quality Measure (dQM) Reporting provides a standardized framework for healthcare facilities to electronically submit surveillance data to the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). This guide supports the CDC’s Data Modernization Initiative by using HL7 FHIR standards to streamline and automate public health reporting. It includes FHIR profiles, example digital quality measures, and technical specifications that enable facilities or external evaluation engines to report data efficiently and accurately. The goal is to reduce reporting burden, enhance data quality, and improve the speed of public health surveillance. | |||
