Abstract: 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. Specifically, the data is used to determine the magnitude of various healthcare-associated adverse events and trends in the rates of these events among patients and healthcare workers with similar risks. The data will be used to detect changes in the epidemiology of adverse events resulting from new and current medical therapies and changing risks. This Emergency Revision Request is submitted to add three (3) additional diseases to the data collection, Influenza A (H5), Marburg, and Oropouche. Data will be collected following modification of the previously approved Form 57.130 - Pathogens of High Consequence. An additional 111,021 burden hours will be added to the collection

Emergency Justfication: Emergency Processing is requested to add three (3) additional pathogens of concern to the NHSN (OMB Control No. 0920-0666) data collection: Influenza A (H5), Marburg, and Oropouche. This requested update in disease surveillance will illustrate which patient populations are being affected by these pathogens and the potential need for additional healthcare infection prevention and control. Since this form is collecting data on hospitalized patients, the update will also help inform on the severity of illness a high consequence pathogen is causing as well as what region(s) of the country are affected. Data collection is vital to ensure that local and state authorities are supported to prepare for and respond to emerging outbreaks.
