ACT 52 - MEDICAL CARE AVAILABILITY AND REDUCTION OF ERROR (MCARE) ACT - Reduction and Prevention of Health Care-Associated Infection and Long-Term Care Nursing Facilities
|
|
|
Act 52 of 2007 requires certain healthcare facilities in Pennsylvania to report healthcare associated infections to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the Pennsylvania Healthcare Cost Containment Council and the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). The Act is part of the Governor's "Prescription for Pennsylvania" plan to reduce and eliminate healthcare associated infections.
To help you navigate NHSN and the Pennsylvania Patient Safty Reporting System more easily, the Authority has worked with the Department of Health to offer tutorials on how to enter infection data.
Please click on the following link that will take you to the PA Department of Health's Website page containing the information. Please don't hesitate to contact the Authority with any questions or comments regarding the site, at 866-316-1070.
