Mandatory Reporting of Healthcare Performance
Measures
After years of percolating on both the federal and state levels,
mandatory reporting of healthcare-associated infection data has become a
reality in four states, and has quickly re-aligned itself as a priority
issue for APIC. Key APIC leaders have been addressing this issue with
other organizations to identify and develop informational resources to
assist our members at the local level.
