Abstract: The NHSN is a knowledge system for accumulating, exchanging and integrating relevant information and resources among private and public stakeholders to support local and national efforts to protect patients and healthcare personnel by promoting healthcare safety. Specifically, the data will be used to determine the magnitude of various healthcare-associated adverse events and trends in the rates of these events among patients and healthcare personnel with similar risks or exposures.

Annual Number of Responses	2,386,250	174,395	0	2,211,855	0	0
Annual Time Burden (Hours)	1,278,315	65,817	0	1,212,498	0	0

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The National Healthcare Safety Network is currently approved for 65,817 burden hours. The NHSN is currently seeking approval of 1,278,315 hours, a net increase of 1,212,498 hours. The increase is due to the addition of new forms to this information collection request and an increased number of respondents. These changes are necessitated by the introduction of the influenza module, as well as a need to revise several of the forms to better reflect current technology and best practices and ideally, to simplify data analysis. The addition of the proposed new forms will increase the burden of data collection, as reflected in the detailed tables of Attachment I. Form changes are detailed in Attachment C.
