Abstract: Preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and improving antimicrobial use (AU) are CDC and national priorities. An extension of the prevalence survey’s existing OMB approval is sought to allow a repeat HAI and AU Prevalence Survey to be performed in 2020. A repeat survey will allow assessment of changes in HAI and AU prevalence, pathogen distribution, and quality of antimicrobial prescribing. These data will also allow CDC and its partners to continue to monitor HAI and AU trends, to measure progress in meeting national targets, and to further refine prevention strategies.
