Is there any official time requirement for a hospital to keep VICNISS data collection forms once they are submitted?
There is no official time that a hospital must store the VICNISS data collection forms after submission to VICNISS Coordinating Centre. It is entirely up to the individual facility but one suggestion might be to keep the forms for 12 to 18 months as infections can occur and should be recorded if they occur within 365 days in the case of an implant being used.
