I have not heard of any changes that would include PIVs for mandatory reporting thru the NHSN at CDC. CMS continues to use language that includes all catheters and all infections on the list of hospital acquired conditions without payment to the hospital. But PIV and midlines are not included in CLABSI data sent to the CDC. Lynn
