TITLE OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE:

DESCRIPTION:

1. Description of the emergency response:

Include all information known at this time about the emergency response including background information that is necessary to understand the importance of the emergency response, a description of the disease or condition that is the subject of the emergency response, what prompted CDC to respond to the emergency, and how case data will be used.

2. Is the disease or condition that is the subject of the emergency response a nationally notifiable condition or a condition under standardized surveillance?

3. How is this information collection essential to the mission of the agency?

RESPONSE-SPECIFIC DATA ELEMENTS TO BE COLLECTED:

In the table below or on an attached spreadsheet, list each response-specific data element, its definition, and its value set. Include the precedent for using the definition and value set, including whether the definition and value set are currently used for routine surveillance (e.g., definition and value set used for routine influenza surveillance) and the situation or event where the definition and value set were used in the past (e.g., definition used during the COVID-19 response; value set used in the United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI)). Include dates of use. Include an overall justification for using the data element and include what information and insight it will provide that is not already provided. Note that the definition and value set precedent and overall justification can apply to more than one data element.
