No Grant Application Required
Covered states and their healthcare facilities—whether Acute Care or Critical Access—have already been selected by Juvare to participate in the CDC’s NHSN Connectivity Initiative: Hospital Bed Capacity Project. This is a fully funded, three-year program that covers the cost of onboarding, implementation, and use of Juvare’s BedSync™ solution.

Challenges You Are Facing Now
Healthcare facilities are under constant pressure to report accurate, real-time bed capacity data to state and federal agencies. This manual reporting process is time-consuming error-prone, and pulls critical staff away from patient care.
During emergency events, reporting frequency can spike from daily to hourly – forcing facilities to dedicate entire staff resources just to stay compliant.
The Solution
BedSync powered by EMResource
BedSync™ is Juvare’s automated bed data integration solution that streamlines the flow of critical hospital capacity information—from the facility to state systems and on to the federal government. Designed to meet CDC’s NHSN Connectivity Initiative: Hospital Bed Capacity Project, BedSync empowers hospitals to offer near real-time data feeds and stay compliant with zero manual input.
This is a fully funded, three-year program that covers the cost of onboarding, implementation, and use of Juvare’s BedSync™ solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are facilities in other states handling this program?
This depends on the state — some states have mandated regulatory reporting requirements, and some states are covering the cost of the mandatory HRD reporting as required by CMS.
Even if not yet required or subsidized, though, the ROI is clear: facilities like yours spend 2-4 hours per day gathering and submitting data to remain compliant with CMS.
Removing this manual process and opting for this automation mitigates an estimated $30,000 to $60,000 in annual labor costs.
If we do not participate in this project, will my facility be responsible for manually updating bed capacity data?
No. This project strictly provides an opportunity for automation throughout our state.
Our EMR sends data directly to NHSN. Why should I participate in this project?
This project allows for full visibility of data at the local, state, and federal level. By bypassing EMResource, the ability to respond to local and state disasters will be significantly weakened.
What EMRs can you integrate with?
As long as you can extract the needed data, we can integrate with any EMR.
How often is the data pushed?
This will ultimately depend on the CDC program requirements, but, for the time being, Juvare will send data to NHSN every hour; hospitals will send data to EMResource every 15 minutes.
What impact will BedSync™ have on the HRD data we are submitting?
The impact of participating is limited to HRD data getting updated in EMResource every 15 minutes rather than once a day for any data elements that overlap. HRD data, however, will still submit to NHSN daily or weekly, per your existing frequency.
Are we limited to only NHSN Connectivity Initiative: Hospital Bed Capacity Project data points?
The program only requires the transmission of NHSN Connectivity Initiative: Hospital Bed Capacity Project data points; however, Juvare will allow facilities to send as much data as they wish to the STTL deployment of EMResource in order to maximize value for participating facilities.
What if my hospital is already sending automated data to EMResource?
Your IT team will need to modify the data set to comply with this project.
What must facilities do to get set up with the API?
Define any additional data elements your facility would like to submit to the STTL Client.
Facilitate any needed IT security reviews.
Secure appropriate internal resources to gather the data, set up the transfer process, and test the submission.
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the process, Juvare’s team is available for support.
We don’t have any resources that have built APIs before. Can we still participate in this project?
Yes. If you are able to extract the data from your EMR, you may transmit the data using our Automated Data Uploader or SFTP.
Who covers the cost of maintenance or repair both during the project period and when it ends?
The BedSync™ project will cover all costs of maintenance and repair until the project ends on July 14, 2028, unless additional funding becomes available for the project. After the project ends, it’s up to the state if they want to cover the annual maintenance cost.
Will there be any cost to the state once the project period ends?
If there is no additional funding after July 14, 2028, the state can decide to continue paying, but is not obligated to pay the annual maintenance cost.
What happens if my facility chooses not to participate?
By July 14, 2028, it is estimated that 40 states will be live and submitting data using this process. If you choose not to participate, your organization will lose out on the ability to use this data for better resource management and patient safety initiatives.
