Abstract:
The goal of the National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS) is to assess the health of the population through the creation of a dataset that contains information on health care utilization as well as the demographic characteristics, medical conditions, and treatment of patients who use hospitals for inpatient and ambulatory medical care in the United States. This Revision requests the following: • Continue recruitment of hospitals in the sample for the NHCS. • Continue the collection of hospital-level data through an initial intake questionnaire and an Annual Hospital Interview for all sampled hospitals. • Continue the collection of electronic data on inpatient discharges as well as Emergency Department (ED) and Outpatient Department (OPD) visits through the collection of Electronic Health Record (EHR) data, UB-04 claims, or a state file. • Continue collection of substance-involved ED visit data through the ED component. • Eliminate the “Annual Ambulatory Hospital Interview” (578 hours of burden) administered as part of medical record abstraction of a sample of ED and OPD visits. • Postpone frame development for free-standing ambulatory care facilities. • Continue to make relatively minor additions, deletions, and changes to the survey through the use of non-substantive change submissions.

Short Statement:
Revision of 0920-0212 (NHCS) results in a net decrease of 1,152 Burden Hours due to the removal of the Annual Ambulatory Hospital Interview (578 hours); reduction of the number of hospitals receiving the Intake Questionnaire (10 hours) or Recruitment Survey Presentation (10 hours); and a decrease in the number of hospitals transmitting UB-04 claims (984 hours). There were 430 hours added as a result of more hospitals in the sample submitting EHR data (396 hours) and the slight increase in sample size requiring more hospitals to complete the Annual Hospital Interview (34 hours).
