Abstract:
This program aims to improve antibiotic use among telemedicine practices by implementing the AHRQ- and Johns Hopkins Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality (JHAI)-developed Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) approach. The original materials submitted for OMB clearance included materials for two cohorts: the diagnostic process cohort and the improving antibiotic use cohort. The diagnostic process cohort was cancelled prior to the cohort’s start date. Therefore, this revision removes all references to the diagnostic process cohort including removal of all data collection tools specific to the cohort, updated versions of the annualized cost and burden tables, and removal of the reference to “Improving the Diagnostic Process” in the Safety Program name. Additionally, the previously submitted materials for OMB clearance included a single version of the Structural Assessment and Participant Experience Survey to be completed by all participants in the improving antibiotic use cohort. However, following pre-recruitment discussions with the program's Technical Expert Panel (TEP) and potential participants, it was learned that the target audience for the improving antibiotic use cohort is comprised of healthcare providers from both brick-and-mortar and telemedicine-only settings. Therefore, this revision proposes revisions to account for the differences in the two practice settings.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The reduction in burden was achieved because the cancer diagnostic cohort was cancelled. While the updated overall burden and cost estimates decreased, the participant experience survey and EHR data collection increased. This is due to the reduced clearance period and the larger size of the Improving Antibiotic Use cohort compared to the Diagnostic Process Cohort. EHR Baseline data collection also includes an additional three months of data. This change extends the date range of the baseline data extracted from the EHR.
