2. Location Mapping NHSN Set up: Location Mapping Most LTCFs have different physical locations where residents reside and receive care within the building. These locations might be known as units, wards, floors, neighborhoods, pod, etc. Each resident care location in your facility should be mapped to a CDC location code/description. This provides information about the type of residents or care services in that place When reporting an infection, the resident care location is used to identify where the resident was in the facility at the time the event occurred 17
Location Mapping Define each location within your facility with your own name that best describes how you identify units within your facility. In NHSN this is called Your Code and Your Label. Your Code: Create a code to help you to help you identify the location. For example, 2 East Your Label: This can be the same as the code or you could add additional information such as rehabilitation. Next select the NHSN location code for LTCF from the following slides. As a reminder, nursing homes/skilled nursing facility units located within a hospital that have a CCN that is different from the hospital must be enrolled as a separate NHSN Facility within the LTCF Component http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/pdfs/pscmanual/15locationsdescriptions_current.pdf NHSN Location Codes LTCF 18
NHSN Location Codes LTCF Choosing the Right Location Resident Mix: To map the appropriate CDC location code for a unit, review the resident mix in that unit during the previous year Choose the location code that best describes the type of resident care/service delivered on that unit NHSN 80% Rule : Sometimes more than one type of resident receives care in a location, for example, both longstay and skilled resident beds are mixed together. In that situation, select the location code which best reflects the majority of residents usually cared for on that unit. Ideally this code would apply to 80% of residents on the unit. But, if there is not a clear majority, select the code that makes sense for your facility 19
LTCF Home Page: Locations Adding a Location in NHSN Anything with an asterisk is mandatory Codes and labels are specific to your facility. Choose a code and label which best describes how you identify your facility Once you have chosen a CDC location description to map with Your Code it cannot be changed so choose the CDC description carefully Use the drop down to choose the CDC Location description that best describes the unit 20
