Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: An increase in burden hours is primarily due to the concurrent redesign of the NHDS. This includes a pretest of the redesign, and the return to a manual data collection for sampling discharges (obtaining the UB-04 and payment data by hospital staff). A more complex sampling design and data items from more locations will increase the burden.
