2024 AUR Reporting Updates

CMS has incorporated Antimicrobial Use and Resistance (AUR) reporting to National Health and Safety Network (NHSN) as a required element under the Public Health reporting category within Promoting Interoperability Program beginning in 2024. Talk to your Quality leader about the AUR reporting requirement to determine how to avoid penalties for non-reporting.

To qualify for the Promoting Interoperability program credit, AUR reports must be submitted to the NHSN by a vendor—like Sentri7® Pharmacy AMS—certified for AUR reporting by the ONC and listed on the Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL).
