CDC Webinar: NHSN AU Option 2023 SAAR Rebaseline: Information for Critical Access Hospitals, May 13
The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Antimicrobial Use (AU) Option has released updates to its risk-adjustment methodology with the 2023 SAAR (Standardized Antimicrobial Administration Ratio) rebaseline.
A major development is the introduction of mixed acuity unit with SAAR values which will enable more critical access hospitals (CAHs) to receive SAAR calculations. This represents a substantial change from previous reporting periods when many CAHs were unable to generate SAARs due to not having SAAR-eligible units within NHSN.
The speakers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have specifically designed this webinar for CAHs and will provide a comprehensive overview of these important updates.
Cost: Free
When: Wednesday, May 13, 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
