Previous terms continue: Approved consistent with the understanding that CDC will continue to add language to its website and reports that clearly caveats the interpretation of longitudinal trends due to changes in the number and characteristics of participating hospitals, particularly changes driven by Medicare and State-level reporting.

The National Healthcare Safety Network (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. Since 2005, the (NHSN) provides healthcare facilities, states, regions, and the nation with the data desired to identify healthcare-associated infection (HAI) problem areas, measure the progress of prevention efforts, and ultimately eliminate HAIs in conjunction with driving the achievement of the overall mission of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Enrollment in NHSN has continuously increased, with over 25,000 enrolled healthcare facilities and 21,700 actively reporting healthcare facilities across the U.S. Of these, there are over 5,000 acute care facilities; 7,800 dialysis facilities; 600 long-term acute care facilities; 1,100 inpatient rehabilitation facilities; 800 inpatient psychiatric facilities; 3,100 long-term care facilities; and 6,000 ambulatory surgery facilities. The proposed revisions included in this ICR are designed to (1) increase the overall attainment of CDCâs NHSN HAI surveillance goals and event reporting coverage for all facility types that are active and reporting data to NHSN; (2) to enhance NHSN surveillance and data quality practices exercised by NHSN users and facilities alike; (3) to introduce the new; Neonatal Component, NHSN Facility Administrator Change Request Form, and Long-term Care Facility Form. (4) To update and revise existing survey questions within NHSNâs components by implementing elements of user feedback that has been further analyzed for NHSN and its partnering organizations, intended to advance NHSN data reporting quality for HAI events, dialysis events, and hemovigilance adverse reaction protocols. Lastly, the proposed revisions will further improve the overall quality of existing data collection forms, which are intended to ensure complete data reporting into CDCâs NHSN by all participating facilities.

Forty data collection tools under OMB No. 0920-0666 have been revised in this revision request. Ten forms within the NHSN Patient Safety Component are changing with this ICR. Updates were made to the pathogens and susceptibility section for forms (57.111, 57.112, 57.113, 57.114, 57. 115, and 57.120) due to a program-wide name change for the organism from âEnterobacterâ to âKlebsiella.â 2. Eight LTCF forms will be updated, two of which (57.138, 57.140), will include an update that will streamline how the facilities document the âSocial Security Numberâ and âResident typeâ variables. Three Dialysis component tools will be updated with this ICR. CDC added and revised multiple questions/options on the surveys to better understand possible risk factors for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), as well as the patient population they serve for surveillance and prevention purposes.
