NHSN Submission Deadlines for Quarter 2 2025 ESRD QIP Data

 

September 23, 2025

Outpatient hemodialysis facilities participating in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Quality Incentive Program (QIP) must submit their Quarter 2 Calendar Year (CY) 2025 National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) data by September 30, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time (PT). Quarter 2 2025 data cover data from April 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025, for the following ESRD QIP measures:

  • NHSN Bloodstream Infection (BSI) in Hemodialysis Patients
  • COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage Among Healthcare Personnel (HCP)

At each quarterly reporting deadline, NHSN takes a snapshot of your facility’s data and creates a permanent data file which is used to create the annual CMS ESRD QIP Final Compliance File. New or revised data entered into NHSN after 11:59 p.m. PT on September 30, 2025, will not be reflected in the Quarter 2 permanent data file used for the CMS QIP Final Compliance File.

Please note that if the last day of the month falls on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, the deadline will occur on the next federal business day.

For questions about NHSN, contact the NHSN Help Desk via the NHSN-ServiceNow Customer Service Portal or via email at NHSN@CDC.gov.
