Resource Profile: Patients-Of-Interest List

A Patients of Interest (POI) List defines all individual Patients considered for inclusion in NHSN Measure reporting. Note that the POI list is not always required because not all NHSN measures will be patient-based (e.g., some measures can be about facilities, etc.).

Usages:

• Use this Profile: NHSN MeasureReport Bundle
• Examples for this Profile: List/list-example-ach-patients-of-interest and List/list-example-patients-of-interest
