Proposed Project
‘‘Pilot Study of Proposed Medical
Office Surveys on Patient Safety’’
This activity is an expansion and
refinement of AHRQ’s Hospital Survey
on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC)
which was developed and released to
the public for use in November 2004.
Two new surveys are proposed to assess
patient safety culture in outpatient
medical office settings: one for
clinicians (physicians, physician
assistants, and nurse practitioners who
diagnose, prescribe for, and treat
patients) and one for medical office staff
(all other non-clinician staff). The
proposed new surveys will be based on
the HSOPSC but also contain new and
revised items as well as dimensions that
are more applicable to the outpatient
medical office setting. The two
proposed surveys will contain some
items that are the same and some items
that are unique to each survey.
The instruments will be pilot tested
with clinicians and staff working in 97
outpatient medical offices. The data
collected will be analyzed to determine
the psychometric properties of each
survey’s items and dimensions and
provide information for the revision and
shortening of the final surveys based on
an assessment of their reliability and
construct validity. The final surveys
will be made publicly available to
enable outpatient medical offices to
assess patient safety culture from the
perspectives of their clinicians and staff.
The surveys can be used by outpatient
medical offices to identify areas for
patient safety culture improvement.
Methods of Collection
A purposive sample of 97 outpatient
medical offices will be recruited and
selected. These medical offices will
represent a distribution of singlespecialty offices (of various types) and
multi-specialty offices, and will vary by
office size (based on number of
physicians in the office), as well as
geographic region of the United States.
Recruited medical offices will be
allocated to each category in numbers
roughly proportionate to the national
distribution of offices in each category.
All clinicians in each medical office
will be asked to respond to the clinician
survey and all other non-clinician staff
will be asked to complete the medical
office staff survey. Since not all medical
office staff have access to e-mail or the
internet, paper surveys will be
administered. Standard non-response
follow-up techniques such as reminder
postcards and distribution of a second
survey will be used. Individuals and
organizations contacted will be assured
of the confidentiality of their replies
under Section 924(c) of the Healthcare
Research and Quality Act of 1999.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Paper surveys will be distributed to a
total of approximately 2,340 individuals
from 97 medical offices (about 592
clinicians and 1,748 medical office
staff), with a target response rate of
70%, or 1,638 completed surveys (414
completed clinician surveys and 1,224
medical office staff surveys).
Respondents should take approximately
15 minutes to complete either survey.
Therefore, we estimate that the total
respondent burden for completing the
survey will be 410 hours (414
completed clinician surveys multiplied
by 0.25 hours per survey or 104 hours;
and 1,224 completed medical office staff
surveys multiplied by 0.25 hours per
survey or 306 hours).

Estimated Annual Costs to the Federal
Government
The total cost to the Government for
developing the clinician survey is
approximately $257,000, and for the
medical office staff survey is
approximately $268,000. These
estimates include the costs of
background literature reviews, survey
development, cognitive testing, pilot
data collection, data analysis, and
preparation of final deliverables and
reports.

burden (including hours and costs) of
proposed collection(s) of information;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be

Proposed Project
Aggregate Reports for Tuberculosis
Program Evaluation (OMB No. 0920–
0457)—Extension—National Center for
HIV, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC, National Center for HIV, STD,
and TB Prevention, Division of
Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE)
proposes to continue the Aggregate
Reports for Tuberculosis Program
Evaluation, previously approved under
OMB No. 0920–0457. This request is for
a 3-year clearance. There are no
revisions to the report forms, data
definitions, or reporting instructions.
DTBE is the lead agency for tuberculosis
elimination in the United States.
To ensure the elimination of
tuberculosis in the United States, CDC
monitors indicators for key program
activities, such as finding tuberculosis
infections in recent contacts of cases
and in other persons likely to be
infected and providing therapy for
latent tuberculosis infection. In 2000,
CDC implemented two program
evaluation reports for annual
submission: Aggregate report of followup for contacts of tuberculosis, and
Aggregate report of screening and
preventive therapy for tuberculosis
infection (OMB No. 0920–0457). The
respondents for these reports are the 68
State and local tuberculosis control
programs receiving Federal cooperative
agreement funding through DTBE.
These reports emphasize treatment
outcomes, high-priority target
populations vulnerable to tuberculosis,
and programmed electronic report entry
and submission through the
Tuberculosis Information Management
System (TIMS). No other federal agency
collects this type of national
tuberculosis data, and the Aggregate
report of follow-up for contacts of
tuberculosis, and Aggregate report of
screening and preventive therapy for
tuberculosis infection are the only data
source about latent tuberculosis
infection for monitoring national
progress toward tuberculosis
elimination with these activities. CDC
provides ongoing assistance in the
preparation and utilization of these
reports at the local and State levels of
public health jurisdiction. CDC also
provides respondents with technical
support for the TIMS software
(Electronic—100%, Use of Electronic
Signatures—No). The annual burden to
respondents is estimated to be 226
hours. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.

Background and Brief Description
The CDC seeks to improve the oral
health of the nation by targeting efforts
to improve the infrastructure of state
and territorial oral health departments,
strengthen and enhance program
capacity related to monitoring the
population’s oral health status and
behaviors, develop effective programs to
improve the oral health of children and
adults, evaluate program
accomplishments, and inform key
stakeholders, including policy makers,

of program results. Through a
cooperative agreement program
(Program Announcement 03022), CDC
provides approximately $3 million per
year over 5 years to 12 states and one
territory to strengthen the state’s core
oral health infrastructure and capacity
and reduce health disparities among
high-risk groups. The CDC is authorized
to do this under sections 301 and 317(k)
of the Public Health Service Act [42
U.S.C. 241 and 247b(k)].
NCCDPHP is currently pursuing a key
initiative to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of CDC project officers
who oversee the State and territorial
oral health programs by developing an
information system to support program
management, consulting and evaluation.
Information systems provide a central
repository of information, such as the
plans of the State or territorial oral
health programs (their goals, objectives,
performance milestones and indicators),
as well as state and territorial oral
health performance activities including
programmatic and financial
information.
