Annual Evaluation and Performance Measurement Report (I.8- N. GONORRHOEAE WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING (WGS)

Annually, each funded laboratory is required to report to CDC evaluation and performance measures. Data are used to indicate progress made toward program outcomes. These summary reports have to be uploaded to the ELC CAMP at the end of each funding year. Required performance measures are listed below.

1. Total number of GC isolates selected for WGS.

2. Proportion of viable isolates for which WGS was performed successfully within 1 month of antibiotic susceptibility testing.

1. Numerator: Number of genomes successfully sequenced within one month of AST completion.

2. Denominator: Total number of GC isolates with AST data selected for WGS for the year.

3. Calculated: Monthly percentage of viable isolates for which WGS was performed successfully within 1 month of antibiotic susceptibility testing

3. Number of laboratory staff personnel trained to proficiency to perform GC WGS.

Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average 10 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.  An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.  Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA 0920-1310
