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. This revision request includes six new forms and small revisions to 20 previously approved forms. The reporting burden will increase by 64,050 hours, for a total estimated burden of 3, 978,175 hours; annual cost of reporting would increase by $4,781,769.
