Summary: The commenter opposes the proposal to decrease burden hours for the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). They argue that maintaining or increasing the current burden hours is necessary to ensure adequate funding for tracking infectious diseases and other critical health issues.
This is a very important program used to track health care issues. We need to maintain or increase the burden hours. It appears the proposal is requesting to decrease burden hours from 4,509,135 to 3,519,732, which translates to less money for tracking infectious diseases. At the very least, maintain the current burden hours to keep Americans safe. Screw worm breakouts, measles breakouts, respiratory issues across the country, cancer studies, etc. now is not the time to do less.
