Summary
The CDC wants your thoughts on a new data collection about serious germs in hospitals. They’re adding three new diseases—Influenza A (H5), Marburg, and Oropouche—to the list they track. If you have ideas, send them by March 10, 2025, so the CDC can keep improving public health without making paperwork a headache.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Hospitals Must Report 3 New Diseases
If your healthcare facility reports through the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), you must now record and report three additional diseases—Influenza A (H5), Marburg, and Oropouche—on Form 57.130. CDC estimates this change will add 111,021 annual burden hours to that form and raise the NHSN total estimated annual burden to 4,508,255 hours; reporting is required and will be submitted electronically through the NHSN application.
NHSN Data Shapes Payer Incentives and Public Choice
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and other payers use NHSN data to determine incentives for healthcare facility performance, and members of the public may use some protected NHSN data to inform provider selection. CDC says completeness and accuracy of NHSN reporting are important because these data feed payer incentives and public-facing information.
