An online survey was sent to 73 facilities in December 2010 to assess the time commitment, staff involvement, and methods used in reporting health care-associated infection (HAI) events through the National Healthcare Safety Network in Massachusetts. Of the 65 respondents, 45% reported electronically importing at least a portion of their data. Facilities that reported using electronic import spent fewer hours per week on data collection and entry than those performing manual data entry. Although not all facilities found electronic import easy to use, nearly all found it to be helpful. Allocating financial and information technology resources to allow for electronic import may ease the burden of HAI reporting to the National Healthcare Safety Network.
