SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Standard Form 94 is used by all
Federal agencies to report accident
information involving U.S. Government
motor vehicles. The Standard Form 94
is an essential part of the investigation
of motor vehicle accidents, especially
those involving the public with a
potential for claims against the United
States. It is a vital piece of information
in lawsuits and provides the Assistant
United States Attorneys with a written
statement to refresh recollection of
accidents, as necessary. The Standard
Form 94 is usually completed at the
time of an accident involving a motor
vehicle owned or leased by the
Government. Individuals, other than the
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
vehicle operator, who witness the
accident, complete the form.
Use of the Standard Form 94 is
prescribed in FMR 102–34.300(b) and
Federal Property Management
Regulations 101–39.40(b).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
‘‘National Safety of the Hospital
Adverse Event Reporting Survey’’
The National Study of the Hospital
Adverse Event Reporting Survey will
use a survey instrument which was
developed to examine and characterize
adverse event reporting in the Nation’s
hospitals. The survey will collect
information from staff for a nationally
representative sample of non-Federal
hospitals. Risk managers will complete
the questionnaire.
To achieve responses from 960
hospitals (a scientifically sound
representative national sample of US
hospitals), we will contact 1200
hospitals to enlist their cooperation
(thus, we anticipate an 80% response
rate). Contacting 1200 hospitals should
yield 960 Risk Managers with whom to
conduct an interview.
The questionnaire will ask whether
hospitals collect information on adverse
events, and how the information is
stored. The questionnaire also asks
about the hospital’s case definition of a
reportable event and whether
information on the severity of the
adverse event is collected. It inquires
about who might report information and
whether they can report to a system
which is confidential and/or
anonymous. The questionnaire also asks
about the uses of the data that are
collected, reporting systems, and
whether information is used for
purposes including analytic uses,
personnel action, and intervention
design. Finally, the questionnaire asks
about the other sources of information
that are useful for patient safety-related
interventions.
The sample will be randomly drawn
from the American Hospital Association
Field Guide (the ‘‘AHA Guide’’). The
AHA Guide is a listing of 5,890
registered hospitals, which include
Department of Defense, and Veteran’s
Administration hospitals. The AHA
believes its database is close to 100
percent complete. AHA gathers
information directly from hospitals via
an annual survey. The resulting
database includes over 600 fields in
areas such as organizational structure,
facilities, bed numbers, finances and
services specialties. Their survey results
are published annually in the AHA
Guide. In our sample, we will include
approximately 5,795 non-Federal
hospitals (public hospitals operated by
cities, countries, and States and private
hospitals including both for profit and
not-for-profit), and we will aim to
administer the surveys in large, medium
and small hospitals.
Mandate for Data Collection;
Sponsorship
In the Fiscal Year 2002 Senate
Appropriations Report for the
Department of Labor, HHS, and
Education (Report—107–84), AHRQ was
given the following congressional
direction:
The Committee further directs AHRQ
to provide a report detailing the results
of its efforts to reduce medical errors.
The report should include how
hospitals and other healthcare facilities
are reducing medical errors; how these
strategies are being shared among health
care professionals; how many hospitals
and other health care facilities record
and track medical errors; how medical
error information is used to improve
patient safety; what types of incentives
and/or disincentives have helped health
care professionals reduce medical
errors; and, a list of the most common
root causes of medical errors.
This project is an AHRQ-funded
activity as part of its Patient Safety
Evaluation Contract.
Method of Collection
The survey and data collection
procedures have been previously
piloted (under OMB # 0935–0114 which
expired 01/31/2004). The survey mode
will be an initial mailed survey with
two waves of mailed follow-ups as
needed, and a Computer-Assisted
Telephone Interviewing (CATI)
telephone survey follow-up for the
remaining non-responders. The CATI
survey will be tested by survey

coordinators at the RAND Survey
Research Group prior to fielding to
ensure that the questionnaire items
appear on the interviewer computer
screens as designed, that appropriate
range checks are programmed (so that
interviewers cannot enter out of range
values), that skip patterns are
programmed appropriately, and that the
data recording is being done correctly.
The survey will take approximately 25
minutes to complete. The 960 surveys
will be obtained from one Risk Manager
per hospital.
The steps in the process are as
follows:
1. For each hospital, telephone
interviewers will contact the hospital
and ‘‘screen’’ for the Risk Manager’s
name, direct telephone number, and
FAX number and will verify the
hospital’s mailing address. The initial
hospital information will come from the
2002 AHA database.
2. All confirmed Risk Managers will
receive an advance letter and a copy of
the survey in the mail.
3. A reminder letter will be sent to
those who have not returned the survey
within 2 weeks of the initial mailing,
and a re-mail of the survey will be sent
2 weeks after the reminder letter is sent.
4. If a survey has not been returned
after the second re-mail, then a
telephone interviewer will attempt to
complete the survey with the Risk
Manager over the telephone. The
interviewer will record responses
electronically using specially prepared
software.
5. It is anticipated that there will be
a follow-up survey (using a similar
survey strategy) administered 2 or 3
years later.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
It is estimated that 960 Risk Managers
will participate in the 25 minute
national study. This yields a 403.2 hour
burden per year and at an estimated
$27.10 per hour, the annualized cost to
the surveyed 960 (approximately 1000)
hospitals would be a total of $10,926.72
or about $11.38 each. The figures are
