The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that timestamps in the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) application (such as
create dates) were updated to display Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The new UTC timestamp has no impact on data submission deadlines. Local time remains in place for data submission deadlines. For more information on the UTC timestamp change, see the
UTC Guidance Document (cdc.gov).
