Abstract: 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. The data are 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,and to detect changes in the epidemiology of adverse events resulting from new and current medical therapies and changing risks. The NHSN has six components: Patient Safety, Healthcare Personnel Safety, Biovigilance,Long-Term Care Facility, Dialysis, and Outpatient Procedure.

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: This ICR includes revision of 32 forms, the addition of 9 forms, and the removal of one form. It includes 2 new NHSN components - the Dialysis component changes 3 forms and adds 4 new ones. The Outpatient Procedure component add 4 forms. The breadth of organism susceptability data required on all healthcare-associated infection forms has been reduced. Changes were made to the Biovigilance component forms including removal of the monthly incident form. A new form will collect aggregate validation results by state health departments using the NHSN Validation Guidance and Toolkits.
