Abstract: The goal of this information collection is to 1) capture the daily, aggregate impact of COVID-19 on healthcare facilities, and 2) monitor medical capacity to respond at local, state, and national levels. This information will be used to inform the overall real-time COVID-19 response efforts and possible resource allocation, and enable state and local Health Departments to gain immediate access to the COVID-19 data for hospitals within their jurisdictions. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted for LTCF forms that have been modified to account for current practices in testing and identifying cases among staff and residents.

Emergency Justfication: CDC seeks a one-month extension of the expired 0920-1290 - National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Patient Impact Module for Coronavirus (COVID-19) Surveillance in Healthcare Facilities package, so that it can incorporate a new data collection form to the NHSN COVID-19 Long Term Care Facility (LTCF) Module: Point of Care Testing Results form (CDC 57.1) The data collected via this form will inform state and local health departments as well as federal public health entities about testing results for patients and staff in nursing homes. This data will be used to identify COVID-19 outbreaks in nursing homes, add to the situational awareness of COVID-19 in jurisdictions, as well as to enable public health agencies to assist in infection prevention and control activities. NHSN has requested OMB approval of this form by 10/15/2020. In order for this nonmaterial/non-substantive change request to be approved, an emergency request to extend the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Patient Impact Module for Coronavirus (COVID-19) Surveillance in Healthcare Facilities package (0920-1290), is hereby submitted. The changes made as the result of this nonmaterial/non-substantive change request will be incorporated into the standard package upon approval by OMB.
