In April 2022, the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) announced various revisions to the COVID-19 module pathways. The CDC will host webinars in May to review the updates and revisions. The changes coming to NHSN module pathways include: 

• removal of Supplies and PPE Pathway – users will no longer need to report to this pathway;
• reductions in Resident Impact and Facility Capacity and Staff and Personnel Impact Pathway, which include: 
  • removal of COVID-19 test type; 
  • removal of Vaccine Manufacturer (RFIC only); 
  • removal of COVID-19 re-infections; 
  • removal of other respiratory illness; and 
  • removal of testing performed and time for receiving results. 
• Additions include: 
  • expanded vaccination status options for boosters and
  • simplified PPE shortage question 

AHCA/NCAL will inform members when these webinars become available.
