Letter to HHS: Automate the collection of data for the NBCUS

By America's Blood Centers

Re: Document 0990-0313 Agency Information Collection Request: National Blood Collection
& Utilization Survey (NBCUS)

The biennial NBCUS is the only source of comprehensive data on blood collection and usage available for both public and private stakeholders, to support benchmarking and surveillance, ongoing research, regulatory needs, disaster planning, and national security concerns. In comments submitted this week to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, ABC advocated for opportunities to automate the collection of the data, to provide more-timely publication of the results, and to gather actionable data on issues such as diversity in the blood supply.
