HHS COVID Reporting Changes Part 2

Hi 
A couple of items.

1. Our lab licensing section has told us they had not gotten the official letter yet from CMS about the COVID-19 reporting changes, CMS is trying to get proper approvals by April 4. I am guessing this may impact what facilities reporting via NHSN have heard?

2. Would it be useful for us to ask APHL to make a list of states and what their reporting changes are in regards to this new HHS guidance? It may be useful for us to know what other states have told providers and labs, and what communications are going to labs using AIMS interpartner for reporting.
I'll put this out for the Thursday ELR call but I won't be able to join so I'm asking if someone else can carry that ball.

3. We can add a brief update on this on the April 5 ELR Workgroup call.

Thanks all!
Nancy
