This collection is approved on the condition that CDC agree not to report information from the NNIS as national estimates since the information collected from acute-care hospitals is not randomly sampled from the universe of acute-care hospitals in the U.S. In addition, CDC agrees to inform OMB of developments regarding the JCAHO's ORYX System and its potential impact on NNIS. Finally, the collection is approved as amended by CDC's revision of 5/23/97 to include the burden for collecting the data, entering the data into the surveillance system, and transmitting the data to CDC. Note: This collection expired 5/31/96 and, because it has continued to remain in use since the expiration, is a violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. CDC must take additional steps to ensure that such violations do not take place in the future.

The NNIS System is currently the only source for National Data on nosocomial hospital associated infections in the United States. It is a collaborative project between CDE and voluntarily participating hospitals in the U.S. The goals of the system are to: (1) Develop comparative nosocomial infection rates that can be used to assess quality of care; (2) describe the scope and magnitude of such infections in the U.S.; (3) identify risk factors; (4) improve patient care; and (5) conduct collaborative research.
