ImageTrend, Inc. has announced that Resource Bridge solution has been updated, in order to accommodate the rapid evolution of the US CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), so as to improve their COVID-19 module for Acute Care Hospitals, with the addition of 11 new data collection fields.
These additional data fields work to enhance the information received by the NHSN, which has proven beneficial for preparedness and response activities, on a local and national level. ImageTrend completed the required development and testing by June 5, 2020, the date the NHSN began collecting these new data fields from hospitals.
