As an Infection Control Preventionist, I would love to see more benefit for the patient's quality of care from reporting that is done. With that, if the state mandates additional reporting it needs to coincide with current reporting mandates (location of reporting). So that ICP's don't spend too much time doing redundant and manual entry of data. ICP's need more time working on prevention strategies/education that will bring value to the patient's quality of care.
