AHCA/NCAL Guidance

  • AHCA recommends accurately reporting your facility’s staffing and Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE) needs in NHSN based on normal standards, not conservation guidance.

  • It is important that the data reported to NHSN gives an accurate picture of

staffing and PPE as well as the other areas collected in NHSN.

  • Federal and state governments will use this data to hold nursing homes

accountable for care and services provided and to identify who needs additional resources.

  • The information you report on PPE and staff will likely also be used by

surveyors when comparing what they find during their surveys.

AHCA/NCAL Guidance

  • NHSN asks “Does your organization have a shortage of

staff and/or personnel?”

  • Answer YES if any of the following are occurring during

the time period of reporting:

  • Staffing less than your facility needs or internal policies

for staffing ratios prior to COVID or based on increased needs since COVID

  • Employing contingency or crisis strategies for staffing

shortage

  • Using more agency staff than you used before the

pandemic

  • Using more volunteers for staffing needs than you used

prior to the pandemic

  • Using any temporary positions (i.e., temporary nurse

aide, medication aide or dining assistant)

AHCA/NCAL Guidance

  • NHSN asks “Do you have enough supplies (each item listed

separately) for one week?” Answer NO if any of the following are occurring during the time period of reporting:

  • Employing any conservation strategies for PPE use; if you are

not able to use PPE per conventional transmission-based precautions in place before the pandemic you should answer NO

  • Using alternative PPE (e.g., cloth masks or gowns, other types
  • f face coverings)
  • Reusing any single use supply item such as gown or masks
  • Keep in mind your PPE supply will be compromised if in the

next week:

  • Additional residents will need to be placed on precautions
  • Additional staff will need to use PPE when returning to

work

  • Visitors or contractors need to visit
slide-35
SLIDE 35

AHCA/NCAL Guidance

As a reminder, facilities should keep documentation of efforts to secure more PPE as well as staffing and report to your local and state health departments that you are employing contingency and crisis strategies to conserve PPE and staffing.
