collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
Approved
consistent with the understanding that CDC will solicit expert
advice (particularly from survey statisticians) at several stages
of the development of this model to derive national estimates of
Healthcare-associated infections in nursing facilities based on
information collected from 10 state health departments. Prior to
dissemination or publication of the national estimate, CDC will
have the final estimate and underlying methodology subject to
independent expert peer review consistent with OMB’s Information
Quality Bulletin for Peer Review, including the charge questions
that elicit opinions on the strengths and weakness of the final
model, thus informing CDC’s characterization of the uses of the
resulting estimates.

Understanding the scope and magnitude
of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in patient populations
across the spectrum of U.S. healthcare facilities is essential to
the development of effective prevention and control strategies and
policies. The aim of this study is to conduct a multi-state survey
to estimate the burden and describe the epidemiology of
healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and antimicrobial use in a
sample of nursing homes in ten states. Results will be used to 1)
explore the development of an approach to modeling the national
burden of HAI. Such estimates may be used to inform state and
federal priority setting for public health initiatives to improve
HAI prevention, 2) inform development of the CDCs National
Healthcare Safety Network, 3) evaluate uptake of antibiotic
stewardship activities in nursing homes in 10 states.
