SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information shall have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Data collection for the residential care community and adult day
service center components of the National Post-Acute and Long-Term Care
Study (OMB Control No. 0920-0943, Exp. 09/30/2023)--Revision--National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.
242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, ``shall collect statistics on
health resources . . . [and] utilization of health care, including
extended care facilities, and other institutions.''
[[Page 3546]]
NCHS seeks approval to collect data for the residential care
community (RCC) and adult day services center (ADSC) survey components
of the 6th National Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Study or NPALS
(formerly known as the National Study of Long-Term Care Providers or
NSLTCP). A two-year clearance is requested.
The NPALS is designed to; (1) broaden NCHS' ongoing coverage of
paid, regulated long-term care (LTC) providers; (2) merge with existing
administrative data on LTC providers and service users (i.e., Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) data on inpatient
rehabilitation facilities and patients, long-term care hospitals and
patients, nursing homes and residents, home health agencies and
patients, and hospices and patients); (3) update data more frequently
on LTC providers and service users for which nationally representative
administrative data do not exist; and (4) enable comparisons across LTC
sectors and monitor supply and use of these sectors over time.
Data will be collected from two types of LTC providers in the 50
states and the District of Columbia: 2,090 RCCs and 1,650 ADSCs. Data
were collected in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020. The data to be
collected in 2022 include the basic characteristics, services,
staffing, and practices of RCCs and ADSCs, and demographics, selected
health conditions and health care utilization, physical functioning,
and cognitive functioning of RCC residents and ADSC participants. The
2022 NPALS will include provider and services user questionnaires.
Directors of 25 RCCs and 25 ADSCs that have adopted an EHR platform
will complete an additional questionnaire to identify and confirm the
data elements, any local customization, and export and transmission
capabilities.
Expected users of data from this collection effort include, but are
not limited to; CDC, other Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) agencies, such as the Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation, the Administration for Community Living, and
the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; associations, such as
LeadingAge, National Center for Assisted Living, American Seniors
Housing Association, Argentum, and National Adult Day Services
Association; universities; foundations; and other private sector
organizations such as the Alzheimer's Association, the AARP Public
Policy Institute, and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering,
and Medicine.
Expected burden from data collection for eligible cases is 60
minutes per respondent; 30 minutes for a provider questionnaire and 30
minutes for a services user questionnaire. Fifty respondents will have
an additional 30 minutes of expected burden for data collection about
EHR data elements. We calculated the burden based on a 100% response
rate. Two-year clearance is requested to cover the collection of data.
The burden for the collection is shown in the Table below. There is no
cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
