Proposed Project
National Healthcare Safety Network
(NHSN) (OMB Control No. 0920–
0666)—Revision—National Center for
Preparedness, Detection, and Control of
Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), 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 to 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.
Healthcare institutions that
participate in NHSN voluntarily report
their data to CDC using a web browserbased technology for data entry and data
management. Data are collected by
trained surveillance personnel using
written standardized protocols. This
application to OMB includes a
significant increase in the number of
burden hours to the previously
approved data collection. The increase
is due to inclusion of new forms and an
increased number of respondents.
NHSN was first approved by OMB in
2005 and CDC proposes to revise this
data collection by adding new modules
to the NHSN as well as modifying
currently approved forms. Four new
forms are proposed: (1) Healthcare
Worker Influenza Vaccination form; (2)
Healthcare Worker Influenza Antiviral
Medication Administration form; (3)
Pre-season survey on Influenza
Vaccination Programs for Healthcare
Workers; and (4) Post-season Survey on
Influenza Vaccination Programs for
PO 00000

Healthcare Workers. The purpose of
these new forms is to help participating
healthcare institutions and CDC to: (1)
Monitor influenza vaccination coverage
among healthcare personnel at
individual facilities and to provide
aggregate coverage estimates for all
participating facilities; (2) monitor
progress towards attaining the Healthy
People 2010 goal of 60% vaccination
coverage among healthcare personnel;
(3) monitor influenza vaccination
coverage by ward/unit of the facility or
occupational group so that areas or
groups with low vaccination rates can
be targeted for interventions; (4) monitor
adverse reactions related to receipt of
the vaccine or receipt of antiviral
medications; and (5) assess the
characteristics of influenza vaccination
programs pre- and post-influenza season
to identify practices associated with
high immunization rates. The total
estimated annual burden for these forms
is 13,800 hours.
CDC is proposing to add an additional
form, Central Line Insertion Practices
Monitoring Form, to the Patient Safety
Component Device Associated Module.
This new form will enable participating
facilities and CDC to (1) monitor central
line insertion practices in individual
patient care units and facilities and
provide aggregate data for all
participating facilities (facilities have
the option of recording inserter-specific
adherence data); (2) link gaps in
recommended practice with the clinical
outcome both in individual facilities
and for all participating facilities; (3)
facilitate quality improvement by
identifying specific gaps in adherence to
recommended prevention practices,
thereby helping to target intervention
strategies for reducing central line
infection rates. The total estimated
annual burden for this form is 12,500
hours.
CDC proposes to add the Multi-Drug
Resistant Organism (MDRO) Prevention
Process Monitoring Module to the
Patient Safety Component. This module
consists of four forms: (1) MDRO
Prevention Process Monitoring Form; (2)
MDRO Infection Event Form; (3)
Laboratory-identified MDRO Event
Form; and (4) Laboratory-identified
MDRO Event Summary Form. The
purpose of these forms is to: (1) Monitor
processes and practices in individual
patient care units and facilities and to
provide aggregate adherence data for all
participating facilities; (2) link gaps in
recommended practice with the clinical
outcome (i.e., MDRO infection) both in
individual facilities and for all
participating facilities; (3) facilitate
quality improvement by identifying
specific gaps in adherence to

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 143 / Thursday, July 26, 2007 / Notices
recommended prevention practices,
thereby helping to target intervention
strategies for reducing MDRO infection
rates. The total estimated annual burden
for these forms is 244,500 hours.
The fourth new proposed collection to
the NHSN is the High Risk Inpatient
Influenza Vaccination Module. This
module consists of four forms: (1)
Influenza High Risk Inpatient Influenza
Vaccine Summary Form—Method A; (2)
Influenza High Risk Inpatient Influenza
Vaccine Summary Form—Numerator
Data Form Method B; (3) Influenza High
Risk Inpatient Influenza Vaccine
Summary Form—Method B; and (4)
Influenza High Risk Inpatient Influenza
Vaccine—Denominator Form Method B.
The purpose of these forms is to: (1)
Monitor influenza vaccination practices
for high risk patients and provide
aggregate data in regard to the number
of high risk patients receiving
on all of the types of facilities that
utilize the NHSN. The total estimated
annual burden for this form is 38 hours.
Finally, CDC also proposes to make
minor edits and modifications to
currently approved forms.
CDC is also adding an increased
number of participating healthcare
institutions from a wide spectrum of
settings. Part of this increase in burden
hours is due to the passage of legislation
in many states requiring mandatory
reporting of healthcare-associated
infections. Some states plan to use or
are using NHSN as their data collection
system to meet this mandate.
Participating institutions must have a
computer capable of supporting an
Internet service provider (ISP) and
access to an ISP. The only other cost to
respondents is their time to complete
the appropriate forms.
vaccination, those already vaccinated,
and those who decline due to medical
contraindications or other reasons; and
(2) to identify reasons that high risk
patients are not receiving influenza
vaccination. The total estimated annual
burden of these forms is 161,250 hours.
CDC is also proposing to open
enrollment to any healthcare facility;
therefore this submission includes a
registration form (Registration Form) to
collect necessary registration
information. The total estimated annual
burden for this form is 125 hours.
A Long Term Acute Care Hospital
(LTACH) survey form is included in this
submission. This survey will allow long
term acute care hospitals and CDC to
collect information on LTACH
characteristics, infection control
practices, and microbiology laboratory
practices. This data will provide CDC
with more comprehensive information

Proposed Project
Preventive Health and Health Services
Block Grant, Annual Application and
Reports—Revision—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 1994, OMB approved the collection
of information provided in the grant
applications and annual reports for the
Preventive Health and Health Services
Block Grant (OMB #0920–0106). This
approval expires on October 31, 2008.
* * * CDC is requesting OMB clearance
for this legislatively mandated
information collection until January 31,
2011. The request is to approve the
development and adherence to Healthy
People 2010, the Nation’s Health
Objectives which was released the
Spring of 2000. The PHHS block grant
is mandated according to section 1904
to adhere to the Healthy People
framework, therefore, the current
application and report format was
restructured to coincide with 2010.
This information collected through
the applications from the official State
health agencies is required from section
1905 of the Public Health Service Act.
The information collected from the
annual reports is required by section
1906. * * * The data collection tool is
being moved from software that is
installed to each user’s desktop to a
web-based system. The following
changes will be incorporated into the
web-based system: (1) Applications are
referred to as Work Plans, (2) Grantees
are asked to submit Work Plans within
recommended page ranges based on the
amount of funding with the objective of
reducing the number of pages submitted
per grantee, (3) Review functions have
been added to the Work Plan, Success
Stories, and Annual Report sections, (4)

the funds are being applied, (8)
Information items are broken down into
discrete fields, for example, specific
begin and end dates are entered for
objectives and activities, and the
components for a SMART (Specific
Measurable Achievable, Realistic and
Time based) objective are entered
individually versus via free form text
fields, (9) Grantees select a percent from
a pre-defined list in the Annual Report
section to identify the extent to which
objectives and activities have been
accomplished. Written detail is
provided only for those items that are
‘exceptions’ to projected outcomes, (10)
A Compliance Review section has been
added to provide grantees with general
information regarding the Compliance
Review process and specific information
that pertains to past reviews of their
state/territory/tribe.
The total burden hours is estimated at
3355 hours, a reduction of 915 hours
below the previous data collection
estimate (4270). The number of hours is
equal to 61 grantees × 25 hours (1525
hrs) for completion of the application
and 61 grantees × 30 hours (1830 hrs)
for completion of the annual report.
Respondent burden is based upon
experience with the Grant Application
and Reporting system that is used to
complete applications and annual
reports.

Proposed Project
National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) (OMB Control No. 0920-
0666)--Revision--National Center for Preparedness, Detection, and
Control of Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), 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 to 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.
Healthcare institutions that participate in NHSN voluntarily report
their data to CDC using a web browser-based technology for data entry
and data management. Data are collected by trained surveillance
personnel using written standardized protocols. This application to OMB
includes a significant increase in the number of burden hours to the
previously approved data collection. The increase is due to inclusion
of new forms and an increased number of respondents.
NHSN was first approved by OMB in 2005 and CDC proposes to revise
this data collection by adding new modules to the NHSN as well as
modifying currently approved forms. Four new forms are proposed: (1)
Healthcare Worker Influenza Vaccination form; (2) Healthcare Worker
Influenza Antiviral Medication Administration form; (3) Pre-season
survey on Influenza Vaccination Programs for Healthcare Workers; and
(4) Post-season Survey on Influenza Vaccination Programs for Healthcare
Workers. The purpose of these new forms is to help participating
healthcare institutions and CDC to: (1) Monitor influenza vaccination
coverage among healthcare personnel at individual facilities and to
provide aggregate coverage estimates for all participating facilities;
(2) monitor progress towards attaining the Healthy People 2010 goal of
60% vaccination coverage among healthcare personnel; (3) monitor
influenza vaccination coverage by ward/unit of the facility or
occupational group so that areas or groups with low vaccination rates
can be targeted for interventions; (4) monitor adverse reactions
related to receipt of the vaccine or receipt of antiviral medications;
and (5) assess the characteristics of influenza vaccination programs
pre- and post-influenza season to identify practices associated with
high immunization rates. The total estimated annual burden for these
forms is 13,800 hours.
CDC is proposing to add an additional form, Central Line Insertion
Practices Monitoring Form, to the Patient Safety Component Device
Associated Module. This new form will enable participating facilities
and CDC to (1) monitor central line insertion practices in individual
patient care units and facilities and provide aggregate data for all
participating facilities (facilities have the option of recording
inserter-specific adherence data); (2) link gaps in recommended
practice with the clinical outcome both in individual facilities and
for all participating facilities; (3) facilitate quality improvement by
identifying specific gaps in adherence to recommended prevention
practices, thereby helping to target intervention strategies for
reducing central line infection rates. The total estimated annual
burden for this form is 12,500 hours.
CDC proposes to add the Multi-Drug Resistant Organism (MDRO)
Prevention Process Monitoring Module to the Patient Safety Component.
This module consists of four forms: (1) MDRO Prevention Process
Monitoring Form; (2) MDRO Infection Event Form; (3) Laboratory-
identified MDRO Event Form; and (4) Laboratory-identified MDRO Event
Summary Form. The purpose of these forms is to: (1) Monitor processes
and practices in individual patient care units and facilities and to
provide aggregate adherence data for all participating facilities; (2)
link gaps in recommended practice with the clinical outcome (i.e., MDRO
infection) both in individual facilities and for all participating
facilities; (3) facilitate quality improvement by identifying specific
gaps in adherence to
[[Page 41078]]
recommended prevention practices, thereby helping to target
intervention strategies for reducing MDRO infection rates. The total
estimated annual burden for these forms is 244,500 hours.
The fourth new proposed collection to the NHSN is the High Risk
Inpatient Influenza Vaccination Module. This module consists of four
forms: (1) Influenza High Risk Inpatient Influenza Vaccine Summary
Form--Method A; (2) Influenza High Risk Inpatient Influenza Vaccine
Summary Form--Numerator Data Form Method B; (3) Influenza High Risk
Inpatient Influenza Vaccine Summary Form--Method B; and (4) Influenza
High Risk Inpatient Influenza Vaccine--Denominator Form Method B. The
purpose of these forms is to: (1) Monitor influenza vaccination
practices for high risk patients and provide aggregate data in regard
to the number of high risk patients receiving vaccination, those
already vaccinated, and those who decline due to medical
contraindications or other reasons; and (2) to identify reasons that
high risk patients are not receiving influenza vaccination. The total
estimated annual burden of these forms is 161,250 hours.
CDC is also proposing to open enrollment to any healthcare
facility; therefore this submission includes a registration form
(Registration Form) to collect necessary registration information. The
total estimated annual burden for this form is 125 hours.
A Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) survey form is included in
this submission. This survey will allow long term acute care hospitals
and CDC to collect information on LTACH characteristics, infection
control practices, and microbiology laboratory practices. This data
will provide CDC with more comprehensive information on all of the
types of facilities that utilize the NHSN. The total estimated annual
burden for this form is 38 hours.
Finally, CDC also proposes to make minor edits and modifications to
currently approved forms.
CDC is also adding an increased number of participating healthcare
institutions from a wide spectrum of settings. Part of this increase in
burden hours is due to the passage of legislation in many states
requiring mandatory reporting of healthcare-associated infections. Some
states plan to use or are using NHSN as their data collection system to
meet this mandate.
Participating institutions must have a computer capable of
supporting an Internet service provider (ISP) and access to an ISP. The
