New national C. auris surveillance data collection
CDC proposes a new national surveillance information collection to supplement the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System; it will collect patient demographics (age, sex, residence, case type), specimen information (type, date), location and healthcare facility of specimen collection, and mortality to monitor C. auris burden and guide public health action to prevent morbidity and mortality.
Health departments’ reporting time burden
State and local health departments would spend an estimated 1,473 total hours per year reporting C. auris data. CDC estimates 52 respondents will submit 340 responses annually, with an average burden of 5 minutes (5/60 hour) per response; CDC says there is no cost other than respondents' time.
