Order, among other things, the 

Commission took steps to streamline the 

application process, provide exemptions 

from competitive bidding, implement a 

‘‘district-wide’’ discount calculation 

mechanism, establish budgets for 

internal broadband connectivity, and 

extend the document retention period to 

ten years. FCC Forms 470 and 471

Commission to collect data to facilitate 

measurement of progress towards the

In addition, this collection is

Proposed Project 

State Health Department Access to 

Electronic Health Record Data from 

Healthcare Facilities during a 

Healthcare-Associated Infection 

Outbreak: A Retrospective 

Assessment—New—National Center for 

Emerging and Zoonotic Infections 

Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Two years ago, contaminated steroid 

injections caused the largest fungal 

meningitis outbreak in the United 

States, affecting 20 states and resulting 

in 751 infections and 64 deaths. The 

subsequent healthcare-associated 

infection (HAI) outbreak response 

required significant collaboration 

between healthcare providers and 

facilities and public health departments 

(HDs). Following the outbreak response, 

HDs reported that various challenges 

with access to patient health 

information in electronic health records 

(EHRs) hindered the efficient and rapid 

identification of potential fungal 

meningitis cases in healthcare facilities. 

The fungal meningitis outbreak 

experience highlights the need to better 

understand the landscape of granting 

and using access to EHRs for outbreak 

investigations. 

The Division of Healthcare Quality 

Promotion (a component of NCEZID), 

the Office for State, Tribal, Local and 

Territorial Support, and the Office of 

Public Health Scientific Services at the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) are partnering with 

Association of State and Territorial 

Health Officials and The Keystone 

Center to evaluate the challenges 

surrounding HDs access to EHRs in 

healthcare facilities’ during an HAI 

outbreak investigation. The evaluation 

seeks to compile information across 

states from experts in the public and 

private sector to assess experiences, 

identify issues, and seek 

recommendations for improving HDs 

access to EHRs during future outbreaks. 

In addition to a study report, the 

insights from healthcare facility staff 

will be used to build a toolkit to help 

state HDs understand the perspectives 

and needs of the healthcare facilities 

related to EHR access. The toolkit will 

provide perceived barriers, 

recommendations to overcome those 

barriers, best practices that support EHR 

access, and practical tools such as 

templates, memorandums of 

understanding (MOUs), and policies. 

The toolkit will be distributed to HDs, 

healthcare facilities, and other 

stakeholders to support awareness and

strengthen relationships between public 

health and clinical care. 

These activities will facilitate the 

quick and efficient identification of 

cases in future outbreaks and protect the 

health and safety of patients. This 

request corresponds with an initial 

ongoing data collection (Phase I), State 

Health Department Access to Electronic 

Health Record Data during an Outbreak: 

A Retrospective Assessment, which 

involves interviews with four types of 

Health Department staff: Healthcareassociated infection coordinator, 

epidemiologist, legal counsel, and 

informatics director (OMB Number 

0920–0879, approved on 04/24/2014). 

Phase I data analysis is ongoing. 

For Phase II of this study, we will be 

requesting participation from hospital 

and clinic staff in their official 

capacities across the same 15 states 

included in the Phase I request. The 

states chosen for Phase I and Phase II 

data collections are: Florida, Indiana, 

Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, 

Minnesota, New Hampshire, New 

Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, 

Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. 

Data will be collected from 150 hospital 

and clinic staff in their official 

capacities using one 30-minute 

telephone interview per person and 

limiting interviews to two hospitals and 

two clinics per state. Hospital 

participants include: Infection 

preventionists, informatics directors, 

and others as referred. Clinic 

participants include: Clinic directors 

and others as referred. 

The focus of this OMB request is to 

conduct interviews with 150 healthcare 

facilities’ staff, hospitals and clinics, in 

their official capacity who has been 

asked by HDs to provide access to their 

EHRs during an HAI outbreak 

investigation. In hospitals, the 

evaluation team will be conducting 

interviews with staff members serving 

in one of three roles: Infection 

preventionist, informatics director, and 

other as referred (e.g. privacy officer, 

risk management, etc.). In clinics, the 

evaluation team will be conducting 

interviews with the clinic director, and 

other as referred (e.g. patient records 

manager, etc.) 

The maximum estimates for burden 

hours are derived from interview guide 

pilot testing and data collection with 

HDs during Phase I data collection, in 

which interviews took 27 minutes. The 

total annual burden is 90 hours. 

The data to be collected do not 

involve questions of a personal or 

sensitive nature and should have no 

impact on the individual’s privacy. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time.
