This Emergency Request is to collect
clinical data on the presentation, course, and management of
patients with Ebola virus disease (EVD) cared for in
higher-resource settings outside of West Africa [including in
Western Europe and the United States (US), as well as in countries
in other regions]. This information collection is necessary to
inform the public health response to the ongoing Ebola virus
disease outbreak. CDC requests that the following collection of
information, "Data Supplement for Ebola Virus Disease Patients
Treated Outside of West Africa," be processed in accordance with
Section 1320.13 Emergency Processing. CDC seeks to collect this
information retrospectively from clinicians who provided medical
care for EVD patients. The clinicians and centers caring for these
patients are part of a CDC/WHO International Clinical Network on
Clinical Management of Ebola Virus Disease Patients that regularly
convenes by phone to discuss the real-time management of these
patients.
This Emergency Request
is to collect clinical data on the presentation, course, and
management of patients with Ebola virus disease (EVD) cared for in
higher-resource settings outside of West Africa [including in
Western Europe and the United States (US), as well as in countries
in other regions]. This information collection is necessary to
inform the public health response to the ongoing Ebola virus
disease outbreak. Due to the urgent need for this information for
dissemination to global audiences in a timely manner, the CDC is
requesting that OMB approval is granted by June 6, 2015. The CDC
cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) because delays in information
collection are likely to result in continued public harm, illness,
and possibly death among patients.
