The goal of this information
collection is to 1) capture the daily, aggregate impact of COVID-19
on healthcare facilities, and 2) monitor medical capacity to
respond at local, state, and national levels. This information will
be used to inform the overall real-time COVID-19 response efforts
and possible resource allocation, and enable state and local health
departments to gain immediate access to the COVID-19 data for
healthcare facilities within their jurisdiction. This
Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to improve the
usefulness and quality of data that is gathered regarding residents
with newly positive SARS-CoV-2 viral test results and their
vaccination status. This will also likely aid in improving the
quality of data which can be used regarding break-through
cases.
