Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:

Proposed Project: National Practitioner Data Bank and Healthcare
Integrity and Protection Data Bank Market Surveys and Survey of Use of
Data Bank Information by Queriers: NEW

The purpose of these surveys is to conduct a follow-up study to the
National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) User and Non-User Surveys of
2001. In addition, Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank
(HIPDB) users and non-sers will be included in this study. The study
will evaluate the effectiveness of the NPDB and the HIPDB as flagging
systems, sources of information, and decisionmaking tools. It will also
determine user satisfaction with the process, use, and information
provided by the NPDB and HIPDB.
Surveys will be administered to entities that report to and/or
query the NPDB and HIPDB, including users who query either the NPDB
and/or HIPDB and who receive a ``match'', i.e. copies of adverse
actions concerning a queried practitioner. A sample of Queriers who
received a matched response will be surveyed about the information
received. NPDB and HIPDB non-users will also be surveyed. Eligible NPDB
and HIPDB users will be asked to complete a Web-based Internet survey
or a computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI). NPDB and HIPDB non-
users will complete either a Web or CATI, or will be transferred to an
interactive voice response (IVR) system during the CATI to complete the
survey.
Data gathered from the survey will be compared with similar
information from previous surveys of users and non-users and will
provide HRSA with the information necessary to improve the usability of
the NPDB and HIPDB.
