<p>For nursing home professionals, infection prevention and patient safety are top priorities. The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), a program under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), plays a critical role in safeguarding healthcare environments, including long-term care facilities, against healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and other safety threats.
