Additional topics were identified as important to the respondents as they expressed support to include questions that cover individual perceptions of responsibility/ autonomy, the importance of the role of family and other social pressures when deciding to make antibiotic decisions, and the process of following up with the resident post-prescription. The group of respondents were comprised of a semiconvenience sample, with efforts to target key administrative and practicing roles within the healthcare setting to obtain a diverse and inclusive perspective. Information will be used to provide descriptive analysis reports of the prescribing climate within long-term care settings. We will use these data as comparison to the initial survey deployment to characterize any change demonstrated within the current antimicrobial stewardship environment with an effort to identify key elements based on staff interactions, perceived challenges, and any identifiable gaps in knowledge. The specific elements within the survey will be used to identify common needs shared across prescribers as areas for further training or intervention development (e.g., identified barriers to education or training resources will result in a more robust education component to be included in future work). While this second survey is not intended to establish a direct causal relationship, it does aim to capture differences in a pre/ post analysis style review without which, the initial survey would simply provide a snapshot of current levels of knowledge, attitudes, practices and perceived provider-level barriers to appropriate antibiotic prescribing.

Proposed Project Drug Overdose Surveillance and Epidemiology (DOSE)—New—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The rapid increase in opioid overdose deaths since 2013, numerous severe fentanyl and fentanyl analog outbreaks occurring since 2015 across the United States, and the declaration of the opioid overdose epidemic as a national public health emergency on October 26, 2017 have highlighted the urgent need to rapidly establish and enhance timely surveillance of suspected drug, opioid, heroin, and stimulant overdoses. These data are critical to inform timely local, state, and regional response, especially to acute and/or widespread multi-state outbreaks. This new data collection effort is an essential component toward reducing the opioid crisis, one of HHS Department’s top priorities. DOSE data is critical to our ability to rapidly identify outbreaks and provide situational awareness of changes in emergency department (ED) visits involving suspected drug, opioid, heroin and stimulant overdoses at the local, state, and regional level. This will E:\FR\FM\05JYN1.SGM 05JYN1 32179 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 129 / Friday, July 5, 2019 / Notices be accomplished by standardizing and enhancing sharing of existing ED data locally collected by 52 health departments (all 50 state health departments, the health department of Puerto Rico, and the health department of the District of Columbia) with CDC. In addition, CDC leadership communicates with HHS on an ongoing basis and this data is part of its request to better monitor, plan and implement programs to prevent overdose and reduce subsequent harms. DOSE proposes to fund 52 health departments (50 state health departments, the health department of Puerto Rico and the health department of the District of Columbia) to rapidly share existing ED data on counts of ED visits involving suspected drug, opioid, heroin, and stimulant overdoses using two standard data forms (i.e., the Rapid ED overdose data form and the ED discharge overdose data form) and standard CDC case definitions. The system will leverage ED syndromic data and hospital discharge data on ED visits already routinely collected by state and territorial health departments. No new data will be systematically collected from EDs, and health departments will be reimbursed by CDC for the burden related to sharing ED data with CDC. Fifty-two funded health departments (50 state health departments, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia) will rapidly share existing ED data with CDC on a monthly basis using the Rapid ED overdose data form and standard CDC case definitions. Data may come from different local ED data systems, but is expected to cover at least 75% of ED visits in the jurisdiction (e.g., state). CDC will require all participating health departments to provide counts of ED visits involving suspected drug, opioid, heroin, and stimulant overdoses by county, age group, sex, and time (i.e., month and year) in a standardized manner using the Rapid ED overdose data form, which is an Excel data template. This form also collects data quality indicators such as percent of ED visits missing data on key variables (i.e., metadata). In order to assess and improve rapid ED data sharing, all 52 participating health departments will also be asked to share counts of ED visits involving suspected drug, opioid, heroin and stimulant overdoses by county, age group, sex, and time (i.e., month and year) from more finalized hospital discharge files, the current surveillance standard. The data will be shared with CDC on a quarterly or yearly basis using a standardized Excel data form, the ED discharge overdose data form, and standard CDC case definitions.

Proposed Project

    Drug Overdose Surveillance and Epidemiology (DOSE)--New--National 
Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The rapid increase in opioid overdose deaths since 2013, numerous 
severe fentanyl and fentanyl analog outbreaks occurring since 2015 
across the United States, and the declaration of the opioid overdose 
epidemic as a national public health emergency on October 26, 2017 have 
highlighted the urgent need to rapidly establish and enhance timely 
surveillance of suspected drug, opioid, heroin, and stimulant 
overdoses. These data are critical to inform timely local, state, and 
regional response, especially to acute and/or widespread multi-state 
outbreaks.
    This new data collection effort is an essential component toward 
reducing the opioid crisis, one of HHS Department's top priorities. 
DOSE data is critical to our ability to rapidly identify outbreaks and 
provide situational awareness of changes in emergency department (ED) 
visits involving suspected drug, opioid, heroin and stimulant overdoses 
at the local, state, and regional level. This will

[[Page 32179]]

be accomplished by standardizing and enhancing sharing of existing ED 
data locally collected by 52 health departments (all 50 state health 
departments, the health department of Puerto Rico, and the health 
department of the District of Columbia) with CDC. In addition, CDC 
leadership communicates with HHS on an ongoing basis and this data is 
part of its request to better monitor, plan and implement programs to 
prevent overdose and reduce subsequent harms.
    DOSE proposes to fund 52 health departments (50 state health 
departments, the health department of Puerto Rico and the health 
department of the District of Columbia) to rapidly share existing ED 
data on counts of ED visits involving suspected drug, opioid, heroin, 
and stimulant overdoses using two standard data forms (i.e., the Rapid 
ED overdose data form and the ED discharge overdose data form) and 
standard CDC case definitions.
    The system will leverage ED syndromic data and hospital discharge 
data on ED visits already routinely collected by state and territorial 
health departments. No new data will be systematically collected from 
EDs, and health departments will be reimbursed by CDC for the burden 
related to sharing ED data with CDC. Fifty-two funded health 
departments (50 state health departments, Puerto Rico, and the District 
of Columbia) will rapidly share existing ED data with CDC on a monthly 
basis using the Rapid ED overdose data form and standard CDC case 
definitions. Data may come from different local ED data systems, but is 
expected to cover at least 75% of ED visits in the jurisdiction (e.g., 
state).
    CDC will require all participating health departments to provide 
counts of ED visits involving suspected drug, opioid, heroin, and 
stimulant overdoses by county, age group, sex, and time (i.e., month 
and year) in a standardized manner using the Rapid ED overdose data 
form, which is an Excel data template. This form also collects data 
quality indicators such as percent of ED visits missing data on key 
variables (i.e., metadata). In order to assess and improve rapid ED 
data sharing, all 52 participating health departments will also be 
asked to share counts of ED visits involving suspected drug, opioid, 
heroin and stimulant overdoses by county, age group, sex, and time 
(i.e., month and year) from more finalized hospital discharge files, 
the current surveillance standard. The data will be shared with CDC on 
a quarterly or yearly basis using a standardized Excel data form, the 
ED discharge overdose data form, and standard CDC case definitions. The 
total estimated annual burden hours are 1,542. There are no costs to 
the respondents other than their time.
