Abstract:
The National Healthcare Safety Network will combine three surveillance systems into one. The data will be used to determine the magnitude of various healthcare-associated adverse events and trends in the rates of these events among patients and healthcare personnel with similar risks and exposures. Data will be gathered on antibiotic resistance to describe the epidemiology and to understand therapies.

Short Statement:
As noted in the terms of clearance, the changes to NHSN are requested to add additional forms that will enable the collection of process measures as well as outcomes by the system. In addition, proposed modifications to the already approved forms were made either to simplify data analysis or to accommodate the new data collection elements. The burden change of 10,780 additional burden hours will increase the burden hours from 65,817 to 76,597. There will be no change to the number of respondents and the number of responses will increase from 174,395 to 244,075, which is a difference of 69,680.
