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 E:\FR\FM\21NON1.SGM 21NON1
