    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking public comment on a proposed project called "Pathogens of High Consequence," which evaluates the presence of certain serious diseases in hospitals. As part of this project, three additional diseases—Influenza A (H5), Marburg, and Oropouche—have been added to the data collection form. The updated project aims to help hospitals track these diseases to better prevent and manage outbreaks. Comments from the public must be submitted by March 10, 2025, through the specified methods.

    Simple Explanation

    The CDC wants to hear what people think about a plan to keep track of some strong germs that can make people sick in hospitals, and they've added three new germs to watch out for. They're asking for opinions by March 10, 2025, to help make the plan better.

  • 2025-01154 — Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations; Correction
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 5885
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a correction to a previously published notice regarding data collection for its National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). This correction adds Polio to the NHSN package and extends the public comment period by an additional 60 days. The NHSN collects data to track healthcare-associated infections and other safety issues at healthcare facilities across the U.S. This revised data collection is essential to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and healthcare facilities are required to report this information through the NHSN platform.

    Simple Explanation

    The CDC is making a change to a list of health problems they are keeping track of by adding Polio, which is a disease they want to watch closely again. They are giving people more time to say what they think about this change.
