Abstract: The goal of this information collection is to 1) capture the daily, aggregate impact of COVID-19 on healthcare facilities, and 2) monitor medical capacity to respond at local, state, and national levels. This information will be used to inform the overall real-time COVID-19 response efforts and possible resource allocation, and enable state and local health departments to gain immediate access to the COVID-19 data for healthcare facilities within their jurisdiction. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to add a section called Vaccine Status to the Dialysis COVID-19 Outpatient Facility form, and two new forms to the Long-Term Care Facility COVID-19 Module: (1) Veterans Affairs Staff and Personnel COVID-19 Event form and (2) Veterans Affairs Resident COVID-19 Event form.
