Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed information collection is published to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are encouraged. Your comments should address any of the following: (a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses; and (e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call (404) 639-7570 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice should be directed to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) (OMB No. 0920-0666), exp. 12/31/2015-Revision-National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) is a system designed to accumulate, exchange, and integrate relevant information and resources among private and public stakeholders to support local and national efforts to protect patients and promote healthcare safety. Specifically, the data is used to determine the magnitude of various healthcare-associated adverse events and trends in the rates of these events among patients and healthcare workers with similar risks. The data will be used to detect changes in the epidemiology of adverse events resulting from new and current medical therapies and changing risks. The NHSN currently consists of five components: Patient Safety, Healthcare Personnel Safety, Biovigilance, Long-Term Care Facility (LTCF), and Dialysis. Two new components will be added within the next one to two years: Outpatient Procedure and Antimicrobial Use & Resistance.
The Antimicrobial Use and Resistance (AUR) component will be launched within NHSN that will specifically examine antimicrobial use (AU) and antimicrobial resistance (AR) within healthcare facilities. The goal of the AUR component is to provide a mechanism for facilities to report and analyze antimicrobial use and/or resistance as part of local or regional efforts to reduce antimicrobial resistant infections through antimicrobial stewardship efforts or interruption of transmission of resistant pathogens at their facility. This revision submission includes one new form specific to the NHSN AUR component.
Significant additions were made to three NHSN facility surveys. Questions about infection control practices were added to gain a better understanding of current practices and identify areas to target prevention efforts among facilities that have reported a multidrug-resistant organism. Questions about antibiotic stewardship were added to gain a better understanding of current efforts to improve antibiotic use in hospitals and to assess the quality of hospital antibiotic stewardship programs.
Additionally, minor revisions have been made to 31 other forms within the package to clarify and/or update surveillance definitions. Three forms are being removed as patient vaccination monitoring will be removed from NHSN.
The previously approved NSHN package included 56 individual collection forms; the current revision request adds one new form and removes three forms for a total of 54 forms. The reporting burden will increase by 172,943 hours, for a total of 4,277,716 hours.
