SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Questionnaire and Data Collection
Testing, Evaluation, and Research for
the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality
The Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ) requests that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) re-approve generic pre-testing
clearance 0935–0124 for three years to
facilitate AHRQ’s efforts to (1) employ
evaluation-type methods and techniques
to improve AHRQ’s current data
collection and estimation procedures,
(2) develop new collections and
procedures, including toolkits, and (3)
revise existing collections and
procedures. AHRQ uses techniques to
simplify data collection and estimation
procedures, reduce respondent burden,
and improve efficiencies to meet the
needs of individuals and small business
respondents who may have reduced
budgets and staff. AHRQ believes that
PO 00000
Frm 00041

developing, testing, and evaluating data
collection and estimation procedures
using survey methods and other
techniques in anticipation of agencysponsored studies can improve its
information collection efforts and the
products it develops and allow AHRQ to
be more responsive to fast-changing
developments in the healthcare research
field.
This clearance request is limited to
research on data collection, toolkit
development, and estimation
procedures and reports and does not
extend to the collection of data for
public release or policy formation. The
current clearance was granted on April
3rd 2008 and expires on April 30th,
2011.
This generic clearance will allow
AHRQ to draft and test toolkits, survey
instruments and other data collection
and estimation procedures more quickly
and with greater lead time, thereby
managing project time more efficiently
and improving the quality of the data
AHRQ collects. In some instances, the
ability to test and evaluate toolkits, data
collection and estimation procedures in
anticipation of work or early in a project
may result in the decision not to
proceed with additional activities,
thereby saving both public and private
resources and effectively eliminating
respondent burden.
Many of the tools AHRQ develops are
made available to the private sector to
assist in improving health care quality.
