Jkt 241001
Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is requesting a threeyear approval of the National
Healthcare Safety Network information
collection project.
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 collected will be used to
inform and 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. The
Outpatient Procedure Component is on
track to be released in NHSN in 2018.
The development of this component has
been previously delayed to obtain
additional user feedback and support
from outside partners.
Changes were made to four facility
surveys. Based on user feedback and
internal reviews of the annual facility
surveys it was determined that
questions and response options be
amended, removed, or added to fit the
evolving uses of the annual facility
surveys. Also, the surveys are being
increasingly used to help intelligently
interpret the other data elements
reported into NHSN. Currently, the
surveys are used to appropriately risk
adjust the numerator and denominator
data entered into NHSN while also
guiding decisions on future division
priorities for prevention.
Further, two new forms were added to
expand NHSN surveillance to enhance
data collection by Ambulatory Surgical
Centers to identify areas where
prevention of SSIs may be improved. An
additional 14 forms were modified
within the Hemovigilance module to
streamline data collection/entry for
adverse reaction events.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire,
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Proposed Project
National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) (OMB Control Number 0920-
0666, Expires--Revision--National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infection Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC)
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is requesting
a three-year approval of the National Healthcare Safety Network
information collection project.
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 collected will be used to inform and 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. The Outpatient Procedure
Component is on track to be released in NHSN in 2018. The development
of this component has been previously delayed to obtain additional user
feedback and support from outside partners.
Changes were made to four facility surveys. Based on user feedback
and internal reviews of the annual facility surveys it was determined
that questions and response options be amended, removed, or added to
fit the evolving uses of the annual facility surveys. Also, the surveys
are being increasingly used to help intelligently interpret the other
data elements reported into NHSN. Currently, the surveys are used to
appropriately risk adjust the numerator and denominator data entered
into NHSN while also guiding decisions on future division priorities
for prevention.
Further, two new forms were added to expand NHSN surveillance to
enhance data collection by Ambulatory Surgical Centers to identify
areas where prevention of SSIs may be improved. An additional 14 forms
were modified within the Hemovigilance module to streamline data
collection/entry for adverse reaction events.
[[Page 24712]]
Overall, minor revisions have been made to a total of 38 forms
within the package to clarify and/or update surveillance definitions,
increase or decrease the number of reporting facilities, and adding new
forms. The previously approved NHSN package included 70 individual
collection forms; the current revision request includes a total of 72
forms. The reporting burden will decrease by 811,985 hours, for a total
of 5,922,953 hours.
This collection of information is authorized by the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242b, 242k, and 242m (d)). There is no cost to
respondents other than the time to participate.
