Essential steps in reducing the occurrence of HAIs and the prevalence of resistant pathogens include estimating the burden, types, and causative organisms of HAIs; assessing the nature and extent of antimicrobial use in U.S. healthcare facilities; and assessing the nature and extent of antimicrobial use. Prevalence surveys, in which data are collected in healthcare facilities during a short, specified time period represent an efficient and cost-effective alternative to prospective studies of HAI and antimicrobial use incidence. Given the absence of existing HAI and antimicrobial use data collection mechanisms for nursing homes, prevalence surveys represent a robust method for obtaining the surveillance data required to identify HAIs and antibiotic use practices that should be targeted for more intensive surveillance and to guide and evaluate prevention efforts. The methods for the data collection are based on those used in CDC hospital prevalence surveys and informed by a CDC pilot survey conducted in nine U.S. nursing homes. The survey will be performed by the CDC through the Emerging Infections Program (EIP), a collaboration with CDC and 10 state health departments with experience in HAI surveillance and data collection. Respondents are nursing homes certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services in EIP states. Nursing homes will be randomly selected for participation. The EIP will recruit 20 nursing homes in each of the 10 EIP sites. Nursing home participation is voluntary. OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 5,217.

IPV occurs between two people in a close relationship. The term ‘‘intimate partner’’ describes physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse. IPV can impact health in many ways, including long-term health problems, emotional impacts, and links to negative health behaviors. IPV exists along a continuum from a single episode of violence to ongoing battering; many victims do not report IPV to police, friends, or family. In 2002, authorized by the Family Violence Prevention Services Act (FVPSA), CDC developed the Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancements and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA) Program, with a focus on the primary prevention of IPV. The purpose of the DELTA FOCUS program is to promote the prevention of IPV through the implementation and evaluation of strategies that create a foundation for the development of practice-based evidence.

On March 2, 2013, CDC awarded 10 cooperative agreements to state domestic violence coalitions (SDVCs). Each SDVC is required to identify and fund one to two well-organized, broadbased, active local organizations (referred to as coordinated community responses or CCRs) that are already engaging in, or are at capacity to engage in, IPV primary prevention strategies affecting the structural determinants of health at the societal and/or community levels of the SEM. SDVCs must facilitate and support local-level implementation and hire empowerment evaluators (EEs) to support the evaluation of IPV prevention strategies by the CCRs. SDVCs must also implement and with their empowerment evaluators, evaluate state-level IPV prevention strategies. The CDC seeks OMB approval for three years to collect program evaluation data. Information will be collected from awardees funded under FOA–CE13–1302, the DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for Communities United with States) cooperative agreement program. The information will be used to guide program improvements by CDC in the national DELTA FOCUS program implementation and program improvements by SDVCs in implementation of the program within their state. Not collecting this data could result in inappropriate implementation, resulting in ineffective use of tax payer resources. Thus, this data collection is an essential program evaluation activity and the results will not be generalizable to the universe of study. The estimated annual burden hours are 59. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. E:\FR\FM\31MYN1.SGM 31MYN1

Proposed Project

    Prevalence Survey of Healthcare-Associated Infections and 
Antimicrobial Use in U.S. Nursing Homes--New--National Center for 
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and encouraging 
appropriate use of antimicrobials are priorities of both the U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention. The burden and epidemiology of HAIs and 
antimicrobial use in U.S. nursing homes is currently unknown. 
Understanding the scope and magnitude of all types of HAIs in patient 
populations across the spectrum of U.S. healthcare facilities is 
essential to the development of effective prevention and control 
strategies and policies.
    HAI prevalence and antimicrobial use estimates can be obtained 
through prevalence surveys in which data are collected in healthcare 
facilities during a short, specified time period. Essential steps in 
reducing the occurrence of HAIs and the prevalence of resistant 
pathogens include estimating the burden, types, and causative organisms 
of HAIs; assessing the nature and extent of antimicrobial use in U.S. 
healthcare facilities; and assessing the nature and extent of 
antimicrobial use.
    Prevalence surveys, in which data are collected in healthcare 
facilities during a short, specified time period represent an efficient 
and cost-effective alternative to prospective studies of HAI and 
antimicrobial use incidence. Given the absence of existing HAI and 
antimicrobial use data collection mechanisms for nursing homes, 
prevalence surveys represent a robust method for obtaining the 
surveillance data required to identify HAIs and antibiotic use 
practices that should be targeted for more intensive surveillance and 
to guide and evaluate prevention efforts.
    The methods for the data collection are based on those used in CDC

certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services in EIP

EIP will recruit 20 nursing homes in each of the 10 EIP sites. Nursing 
home participation is voluntary.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is 
voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other than their time. 
The total estimated annual burden hours are 5,217.
