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 improve the usefulness and quality of data that is gathered regarding residents with newly positive SARS-CoV-2 viral test results and their vaccination status. This will also likely aid in improving the quality of data which can be used regarding break-through cases.
