Proposed Projects

National Nosocomial Infections

Surveillance (NNIS) System (0920–

0012)—Revision—National Center for

Infectious Disease (NCID), Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The most recent renewal of the NNIS

system was in 1997. The NNIS system,

which was instituted in 1970, is an

ongoing surveillance system currently

involving 315 hospitals that voluntarily

report their nosocomial infections data

to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC), who aggregates the

data into a national database. The data

are collected using surveillance

protocols developed by CDC for high

risk patient groups (ICU, high-risk

nursery, and surgical patients).

Instructional manuals, training of

surveillance personnel, and a computer

surveillance software are among the

support that CDC provides without cost

to participating hospitals to ensure the

reporting of accurate and uniform data.

The purpose of the NNIS system is to

provide national data on the incidence

of nosocomial infections and their risk

factors, and on emerging antibiotic

resistance. The data are used to

determine the magnitude of various

nosocomial infection problems and

trends in infection rates among patient

with similar risks. They are used to

detect changes in the epidemiology of

nosocomial infections resulting from

new medical therapies and changing

patient risks. New to the NNIS system

is the monitoring of antibiotic resistance

and antimicrobial use in groups of

patients to describe the epidemiology of

antibiotic resistance and to understand

the role of antimicrobial therapy to this

growing problem. The NNIS system can

also serve as a sentinel system for the

detection of nosocomial infection

outbreaks in the event of national

distribution of a contaminated medical

product or device.

The respondent burden is not the

same in each hospital since the

hospitals can select from a wide variety

of surveillance options. A typical

hospital will monitor patients for

infections in two ICUs and surgical site

infections following 3 surgical

operations. The respondent burden

includes the time and cost to collect

data on nosocomial infections in

patients in these groups and the

denominator data to characterize risk

factors in the patients who are being

monitored; to enter the data as well as

a surveillance plan into the surveillance

software; to send the data to CDC by

electronic transmission; and complete a

short annual survey and administrative

forms. The annualized burden is

estimated to be 71,259 hours.
