Proposed Project
National Healthcare Safety Network
(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
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
