Proposed Project
National Home and Hospice Care
Survey (NHHCS)(OMB No. 0920–
0298)—Reinstatement with Change—
National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Background and Brief Description
The NHHCS was conducted in 1992,
1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2000.
NHHCS data describe a major segment
of the long-term care system and are
used extensively for health care
research, health planning and public
policy. NHHCS provides data on the
characteristics of home health and
hospice agencies (e.g. Medicare and
Medicaid certification, ownership,
membership in chains, nursing home, or
hospital systems); patients (e.g.
demographics, functional status,
services received, diagnoses, or sources
of payment); and staff (e.g. staffing mix,
turnover, benefits, training, or
education).
The survey provides detailed
information on utilization and staffing
patterns, and quality of care variables
that are needed to make accurate
assessments of the need for and effects
of changes in the provision and
financing of long-term care for the
elderly and disabled. The availability
and use of long-term care services are
becoming an increasingly important
issue as the number of elderly increases
and persons with disabilities live
longer. Equally as important is ensuring
the adequacy and availability of the
long-term care workforce. The 2007
NHHCS will include a supplement on
home health aides. The upcoming
survey has been redesigned and
expanded to better meet the data needs
of researchers and health care planners
working to ensure that quality long-term
care will be available for the nation’s
growing senior population. The survey
will utilize both computer-assisted
personal interviewing (CAPI) and
computer-assisted telephone
interviewing (CATI) systems. These
computerized systems speed the flow of
data, making it possible to release
information on a timelier basis and
easier for respondents to participate in
the survey.
Users of NHHCS data include the
National Immunization Program, and
the National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control CDC; the
Congressional Research Office; the
Bureau of Health Professions, Health
Resources and Services Administration;
the Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Planning and Evaluation; the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality; the
National Association for Health Care;
the National Hospice and Palliative Care
Organization; American Health Care
Association; Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services; Bureau of the
Census, and the American Association
for Retired People. Other users of these
data include universities, many in the
private sector, foundations, and a
variety of users in the print media.
NCHS plans to conduct the next
NHHCS in August–December 2007 and
during the same months in 2008. These
two national surveys follow a pretest of
the forms and procedures in AugustSeptember 2006. The data collection
procedures and content have been
extensively revised from those of the
previous NHHCS. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to
participate. The burden tables below
include the average annual burden for
the pretest and the national survey. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 6,088.

The Division of Healthcare Quality
Promotion (DHQP) disseminates notices
and alerts through a voluntary
electronic mail subscriber list (i.e.,
Rapid Notification System) to inform
healthcare personnel about healthcareassociated disease outbreaks and
clusters or adverse events that may be
of national importance and
recommendation for preventing
infections and antimicrobial resistance.
DHQP is occasionally involved in
gathering information to determine if a
recognized adverse event (e.g., an
infection following the use of a
particular product, type of equipment,
or with a microorganism that has rarely
been reported) has occurred on a

national level in healthcare facilities.
The information gained from this
assessment will be used to target
corrective actions or educational
strategies to improve the public’s health
by preventing future adverse events.
To rapidly determine the scope of
adverse events at the time soon after a
public health notification or product
recall, DHQP seeks to conduct short
surveys using OMB approved questions
among participants in the Rapid
Notification System, National
Nosocomial Infection Surveillance
(NNIS), and other CDC networks (e.g.,
partners in healthcare working on
innovative infection reduction projects
such as the Pittsburgh Healthcare
Regional Initiative and the Prevention
Epidemiology Centers). The survey will
also be posted on the DHQP website to
reach additional healthcare
professionals. The number of questions
in each survey will range from 5 to 10.
Data will be collected using a Webbased data collection form.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
67.
