The survey is conducted under the authority of section 306 of the Public Health Service Act (42U.S.C. 242k). Although there are other surveys that collect information from United States office-based physicians, NEHRS is unique in that it provides nationally representative information about the use of electronic health records (EHR) and other health information technologies. Additional justifications for conducting respect to electronically sending, receiving, integrating, and searching for patient health information through these systems. Improving interoperability of electronic health information is a major priority for ONC, and NEHRS provides ONC with data on physicians’ experience with interoperability. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 5,544 annual burden hours. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate. future rounds of NEHRS include the need for more complete data to study: (1) documentation of social needs; (2) trends in interoperability; (3) the exchange of patient health information with public health agencies; and (4) the use of telemedicine technology.

The goal of this data collection is to provide NCEH with routine information about the activities and performance of the State, local and Territorial recipients funded under the NACP through an annual reporting system.

AIRS also includes two forms to collect aggregate emergency department (ED) visits and hospital discharge (HD) data from recipients. AIRS was first approved by OMB in 2010 to collect data in a web-based system to monitor and guide participating State health departments. Since implementation in 2010, AIRS, and the technical assistance provided by CDC staff, have provided States with uniform data reporting methods and linkages to other States’ asthma program information and resources. Thus, AIRS has saved State resources and staff time when asthma programs embark on asthma activities similar to those conducted elsewhere. Over the past three years, AIRS data has been used to accomplish a multitude of activities centered around transparent communication and informed decision-making for State asthma programs. AIRS data served as a resource to address congressional, departmental, and institutional inquiries, along with enabling inquiries surrounding interventions for heavily burdened populations based on geographic areas, age groups, and other variables of interest. Additionally, the AIRS data has allowed our team to provide timely feedback on performance, both independent and performance relative to others, through the distribution of two written reports and several presentations. Furthermore, AIRS data has allowed for the customization of technical assistance for materials addressing implementation challenges and barriers. As the current cooperative agreement cycle comes to an end, the AIRS data has provided key information in helping to shape the next program announcement.

Background and Brief Description Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) cause significant morbidity and mortality each year in the United States. From 2004– 2019, over 800,000 cases of diseases carried by ticks, mosquitoes, and fleas have been reported from U.S. states and territories to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The number of reported cases has been increasing annually with two major trends: a steady increase in tick-borne diseases and increasing intermittent outbreaks of mosquito-borne arboviruses. CDC expects that the number of vector-borne disease cases in the U.S. will likely increase and that the pathogens have the potential to spread locally, particularly if vector control measures are not taken.
