According to NHSN, common data submission errors include:
- Reporting aggregate counts for COVID-19 confirmed, suspected, and deaths. Data submitted should be newly identified since prior data submission.
- COVID-19 deaths are greater than total number of deaths. Data submitted for COVID-19 deaths should never be greater than the total number of deaths reported.
- Missing data for counts. Leaving blanks for numbers equaling zero (0) results in a system flag and identification of a failure to report to the NHSN system.
- Missing or incomplete reporting in one or more pathways. Missing or incomplete reporting results in a system flag for failure to report data to the NHSN system. Each pathway must turn green when all data has been successfully submitted.
- Number of ventilators missing or “0” in facilities that identified that they have ventilator units and/or beds. If your center marks “yes” to the question “do you have ventilator dependent unit and/or beds in our facility?” then there should be a corresponding number entering into the next two data questions regarding “number of mechanical ventilators” and the “number of mechanical ventilators in use”.
